To determine if 5804 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5804.
If the factors of 5804 are only 5804 and 1, then we know that 5804 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5804 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5804 is only divisible by 1 and 5804, then it is a prime number, and if 5804 is divisible by more than 5804 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5804 are as follows:
