To determine if 5522 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5522.
If the factors of 5522 are only 5522 and 1, then we know that 5522 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5522 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5522 is only divisible by 1 and 5522, then it is a prime number, and if 5522 is divisible by more than 5522 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5522 are as follows:
1, 2, 11, 22, 251, 502, 2761, 5522
