To determine if 5575 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5575.
If the factors of 5575 are only 5575 and 1, then we know that 5575 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5575 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5575 is only divisible by 1 and 5575, then it is a prime number, and if 5575 is divisible by more than 5575 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5575 are as follows:
1, 5, 25, 223, 1115, 5575
Therefore, since 5575 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
