To determine if 5776 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5776.
If the factors of 5776 are only 5776 and 1, then we know that 5776 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5776 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5776 is only divisible by 1 and 5776, then it is a prime number, and if 5776 is divisible by more than 5776 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5776 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 19, 38, 76, 152, 304, 361, 722, 1444, 2888, 5776
Therefore, since 5776 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5776 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
