To determine if 5508 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5508.
If the factors of 5508 are only 5508 and 1, then we know that 5508 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5508 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5508 is only divisible by 1 and 5508, then it is a prime number, and if 5508 is divisible by more than 5508 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5508 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 17, 18, 27, 34, 36, 51, 54, 68, 81, 102, 108, 153, 162, 204, 306, 324, 459, 612, 918, 1377, 1836, 2754, 5508
Therefore, since 5508 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5508 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
