To determine if 5801 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5801.
If the factors of 5801 are only 5801 and 1, then we know that 5801 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5801 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5801 is only divisible by 1 and 5801, then it is a prime number, and if 5801 is divisible by more than 5801 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5801 are as follows:
1, 5801
Therefore, since 5801 is divisible by only one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5801 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
prime
