To determine if 5544 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5544.
If the factors of 5544 are only 5544 and 1, then we know that 5544 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5544 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5544 is only divisible by 1 and 5544, then it is a prime number, and if 5544 is divisible by more than 5544 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5544 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 14, 18, 21, 22, 24, 28, 33, 36, 42, 44, 56, 63, 66, 72, 77, 84, 88, 99, 126, 132, 154, 168, 198, 231, 252, 264, 308, 396, 462, 504, 616, 693, 792, 924, 1386, 1848, 2772, 5544
Therefore, since 5544 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5544 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
