To determine if 5904 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5904.
If the factors of 5904 are only 5904 and 1, then we know that 5904 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5904 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5904 is only divisible by 1 and 5904, then it is a prime number, and if 5904 is divisible by more than 5904 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5904 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 16, 18, 24, 36, 41, 48, 72, 82, 123, 144, 164, 246, 328, 369, 492, 656, 738, 984, 1476, 1968, 2952, 5904
Therefore, since 5904 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5904 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
