To determine if 5803 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5803.
If the factors of 5803 are only 5803 and 1, then we know that 5803 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5803 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5803 is only divisible by 1 and 5803, then it is a prime number, and if 5803 is divisible by more than 5803 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5803 are as follows:
