To determine if 5835 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5835.
If the factors of 5835 are only 5835 and 1, then we know that 5835 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5835 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5835 is only divisible by 1 and 5835, then it is a prime number, and if 5835 is divisible by more than 5835 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5835 are as follows:
