To determine if 5577 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5577.
If the factors of 5577 are only 5577 and 1, then we know that 5577 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5577 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5577 is only divisible by 1 and 5577, then it is a prime number, and if 5577 is divisible by more than 5577 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5577 are as follows:
