A Prime number has only two factors which are itself and one such as 2 and 19

A composite number has more than two factors

Composite numbers have prime factors as for example 38 as a product of its prime factors is 2*19 = 38

How you can factorize 5929?

To factorize 5929, you can first check for divisibility by small prime numbers. After testing, you'll find that 5929 is equal to (77^2) (since (77 \times 77 = 5929)). Therefore, the prime factorization of 5929 is (7^2 \times 11^2), as 77 can be further factored into (7 \times 11).
