To determine if 5808 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5808.
If the factors of 5808 are only 5808 and 1, then we know that 5808 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5808 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5808 is only divisible by 1 and 5808, then it is a prime number, and if 5808 is divisible by more than 5808 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5808 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 11, 12, 16, 22, 24, 33, 44, 48, 66, 88, 121, 132, 176, 242, 264, 363, 484, 528, 726, 968, 1452, 1936, 2904, 5808
Therefore, since 5808 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5808 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
