To determine if 5814 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5814.
If the factors of 5814 are only 5814 and 1, then we know that 5814 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5814 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5814 is only divisible by 1 and 5814, then it is a prime number, and if 5814 is divisible by more than 5814 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5814 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 17, 18, 19, 34, 38, 51, 57, 102, 114, 153, 171, 306, 323, 342, 646, 969, 1938, 2907, 5814
Therefore, since 5814 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5814 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
