To determine if 5570 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5570.
If the factors of 5570 are only 5570 and 1, then we know that 5570 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5570 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5570 is only divisible by 1 and 5570, then it is a prime number, and if 5570 is divisible by more than 5570 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5570 are as follows:
1, 2, 5, 10, 557, 1114, 2785, 5570
Therefore, since 5570 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5570 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
