To determine if 5506 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5506.
If the factors of 5506 are only 5506 and 1, then we know that 5506 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5506 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5506 is only divisible by 1 and 5506, then it is a prime number, and if 5506 is divisible by more than 5506 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5506 are as follows:
