To determine if 5830 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5830.
If the factors of 5830 are only 5830 and 1, then we know that 5830 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5830 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5830 is only divisible by 1 and 5830, then it is a prime number, and if 5830 is divisible by more than 5830 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5830 are as follows:
1, 2, 5, 10, 11, 22, 53, 55, 106, 110, 265, 530, 583, 1166, 2915, 5830
Therefore, since 5830 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5830 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 5831 prime or composite?
