To determine if 5778 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5778.
If the factors of 5778 are only 5778 and 1, then we know that 5778 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5778 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5778 is only divisible by 1 and 5778, then it is a prime number, and if 5778 is divisible by more than 5778 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5778 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, 54, 107, 214, 321, 642, 963, 1926, 2889, 5778
Therefore, since 5778 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5778 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
