To determine if 5511 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5511.
If the factors of 5511 are only 5511 and 1, then we know that 5511 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5511 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5511 is only divisible by 1 and 5511, then it is a prime number, and if 5511 is divisible by more than 5511 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5511 are as follows:
1, 3, 11, 33, 167, 501, 1837, 5511
Therefore, since 5511 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5511 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
