To determine if 5526 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5526.
If the factors of 5526 are only 5526 and 1, then we know that 5526 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5526 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5526 is only divisible by 1 and 5526, then it is a prime number, and if 5526 is divisible by more than 5526 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5526 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 307, 614, 921, 1842, 2763, 5526
Therefore, since 5526 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5526 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
