To determine if 5562 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5562.
If the factors of 5562 are only 5562 and 1, then we know that 5562 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5562 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5562 is only divisible by 1 and 5562, then it is a prime number, and if 5562 is divisible by more than 5562 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5562 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, 54, 103, 206, 309, 618, 927, 1854, 2781, 5562
Therefore, since 5562 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5562 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 5563 prime or composite?
