To determine if 5796 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5796.
If the factors of 5796 are only 5796 and 1, then we know that 5796 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5796 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5796 is only divisible by 1 and 5796, then it is a prime number, and if 5796 is divisible by more than 5796 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5796 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 12, 14, 18, 21, 23, 28, 36, 42, 46, 63, 69, 84, 92, 126, 138, 161, 207, 252, 276, 322, 414, 483, 644, 828, 966, 1449, 1932, 2898, 5796
Therefore, since 5796 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5796 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
