To determine if 5525 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5525.
If the factors of 5525 are only 5525 and 1, then we know that 5525 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5525 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5525 is only divisible by 1 and 5525, then it is a prime number, and if 5525 is divisible by more than 5525 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5525 are as follows:
1, 5, 13, 17, 25, 65, 85, 221, 325, 425, 1105, 5525
Therefore, since 5525 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5525 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
