To determine if 5864 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5864.
If the factors of 5864 are only 5864 and 1, then we know that 5864 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5864 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5864 is only divisible by 1 and 5864, then it is a prime number, and if 5864 is divisible by more than 5864 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5864 are as follows:
