To determine if 5771 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5771.
If the factors of 5771 are only 5771 and 1, then we know that 5771 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5771 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5771 is only divisible by 1 and 5771, then it is a prime number, and if 5771 is divisible by more than 5771 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5771 are as follows:
1, 29, 199, 5771
Therefore, since 5771 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5771 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
