To determine if 5572 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5572.
If the factors of 5572 are only 5572 and 1, then we know that 5572 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5572 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5572 is only divisible by 1 and 5572, then it is a prime number, and if 5572 is divisible by more than 5572 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5572 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28, 199, 398, 796, 1393, 2786, 5572
Therefore, since 5572 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5572 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
