To determine if 5568 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5568.
If the factors of 5568 are only 5568 and 1, then we know that 5568 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5568 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5568 is only divisible by 1 and 5568, then it is a prime number, and if 5568 is divisible by more than 5568 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5568 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 29, 32, 48, 58, 64, 87, 96, 116, 174, 192, 232, 348, 464, 696, 928, 1392, 1856, 2784, 5568
Therefore, since 5568 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5568 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
