To determine if 5576 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5576.
If the factors of 5576 are only 5576 and 1, then we know that 5576 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5576 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5576 is only divisible by 1 and 5576, then it is a prime number, and if 5576 is divisible by more than 5576 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5576 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 17, 34, 41, 68, 82, 136, 164, 328, 697, 1394, 2788, 5576
Therefore, since 5576 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5576 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
