To determine if 5518 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5518.
If the factors of 5518 are only 5518 and 1, then we know that 5518 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5518 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5518 is only divisible by 1 and 5518, then it is a prime number, and if 5518 is divisible by more than 5518 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5518 are as follows:
1, 2, 31, 62, 89, 178, 2759, 5518
Therefore, since 5518 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
