To determine if 5784 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5784.
If the factors of 5784 are only 5784 and 1, then we know that 5784 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5784 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5784 is only divisible by 1 and 5784, then it is a prime number, and if 5784 is divisible by more than 5784 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5784 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 241, 482, 723, 964, 1446, 1928, 2892, 5784
Therefore, since 5784 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5784 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
