To determine if 5863 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5863.
If the factors of 5863 are only 5863 and 1, then we know that 5863 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5863 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5863 is only divisible by 1 and 5863, then it is a prime number, and if 5863 is divisible by more than 5863 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5863 are as follows:
1, 11, 13, 41, 143, 451, 533, 5863
