To determine if 5785 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5785.
If the factors of 5785 are only 5785 and 1, then we know that 5785 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5785 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5785 is only divisible by 1 and 5785, then it is a prime number, and if 5785 is divisible by more than 5785 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5785 are as follows:
1, 5, 13, 65, 89, 445, 1157, 5785
