To determine if 5564 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5564.
If the factors of 5564 are only 5564 and 1, then we know that 5564 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5564 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5564 is only divisible by 1 and 5564, then it is a prime number, and if 5564 is divisible by more than 5564 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5564 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 13, 26, 52, 107, 214, 428, 1391, 2782, 5564
Therefore, since 5564 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5564 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
