To determine if 5566 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5566.
If the factors of 5566 are only 5566 and 1, then we know that 5566 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5566 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5566 is only divisible by 1 and 5566, then it is a prime number, and if 5566 is divisible by more than 5566 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5566 are as follows:
1, 2, 11, 22, 23, 46, 121, 242, 253, 506, 2783, 5566
Therefore, since 5566 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5566 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 5567 prime or composite?
