To determine if 5921 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5921.
If the factors of 5921 are only 5921 and 1, then we know that 5921 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5921 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5921 is only divisible by 1 and 5921, then it is a prime number, and if 5921 is divisible by more than 5921 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5921 are as follows:
