To determine if 5565 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5565.
If the factors of 5565 are only 5565 and 1, then we know that 5565 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5565 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5565 is only divisible by 1 and 5565, then it is a prime number, and if 5565 is divisible by more than 5565 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5565 are as follows:
1, 3, 5, 7, 15, 21, 35, 53, 105, 159, 265, 371, 795, 1113, 1855, 5565
Therefore, since 5565 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5565 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
