To determine if 5512 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5512.
If the factors of 5512 are only 5512 and 1, then we know that 5512 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5512 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5512 is only divisible by 1 and 5512, then it is a prime number, and if 5512 is divisible by more than 5512 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5512 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 13, 26, 52, 53, 104, 106, 212, 424, 689, 1378, 2756, 5512
Therefore, since 5512 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5512 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 5513 prime or composite?
