To determine if 5850 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5850.
If the factors of 5850 are only 5850 and 1, then we know that 5850 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5850 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5850 is only divisible by 1 and 5850, then it is a prime number, and if 5850 is divisible by more than 5850 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5850 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 13, 15, 18, 25, 26, 30, 39, 45, 50, 65, 75, 78, 90, 117, 130, 150, 195, 225, 234, 325, 390, 450, 585, 650, 975, 1170, 1950, 2925, 5850
Therefore, since 5850 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5850 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 5851 prime or composite?
