To determine if 5571 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5571.
If the factors of 5571 are only 5571 and 1, then we know that 5571 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5571 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5571 is only divisible by 1 and 5571, then it is a prime number, and if 5571 is divisible by more than 5571 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5571 are as follows:
1, 3, 9, 619, 1857, 5571
Therefore, since 5571 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5571 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
