To determine if 5541 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5541.
If the factors of 5541 are only 5541 and 1, then we know that 5541 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5541 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5541 is only divisible by 1 and 5541, then it is a prime number, and if 5541 is divisible by more than 5541 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5541 are as follows:
