To determine if 5517 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5517.
If the factors of 5517 are only 5517 and 1, then we know that 5517 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5517 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5517 is only divisible by 1 and 5517, then it is a prime number, and if 5517 is divisible by more than 5517 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5517 are as follows:
