To determine if 5812 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5812.
If the factors of 5812 are only 5812 and 1, then we know that 5812 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5812 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5812 is only divisible by 1 and 5812, then it is a prime number, and if 5812 is divisible by more than 5812 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5812 are as follows:
