To determine if 5802 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5802.
If the factors of 5802 are only 5802 and 1, then we know that 5802 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5802 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5802 is only divisible by 1 and 5802, then it is a prime number, and if 5802 is divisible by more than 5802 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5802 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 967, 1934, 2901, 5802
Therefore, since 5802 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5802 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
