To determine if 5848 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5848.
If the factors of 5848 are only 5848 and 1, then we know that 5848 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5848 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5848 is only divisible by 1 and 5848, then it is a prime number, and if 5848 is divisible by more than 5848 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5848 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 17, 34, 43, 68, 86, 136, 172, 344, 731, 1462, 2924, 5848
Therefore, since 5848 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5848 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
