To determine if 5930 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5930.
If the factors of 5930 are only 5930 and 1, then we know that 5930 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5930 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5930 is only divisible by 1 and 5930, then it is a prime number, and if 5930 is divisible by more than 5930 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5930 are as follows:
