To determine if 5505 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5505.
If the factors of 5505 are only 5505 and 1, then we know that 5505 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5505 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5505 is only divisible by 1 and 5505, then it is a prime number, and if 5505 is divisible by more than 5505 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5505 are as follows:
1, 3, 5, 15, 367, 1101, 1835, 5505
