To determine if 5535 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5535.
If the factors of 5535 are only 5535 and 1, then we know that 5535 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5535 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5535 is only divisible by 1 and 5535, then it is a prime number, and if 5535 is divisible by more than 5535 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5535 are as follows:
1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 27, 41, 45, 123, 135, 205, 369, 615, 1107, 1845, 5535
Therefore, since 5535 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5535 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 5536 prime or composite?
