To determine if 5592 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5592.
If the factors of 5592 are only 5592 and 1, then we know that 5592 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5592 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5592 is only divisible by 1 and 5592, then it is a prime number, and if 5592 is divisible by more than 5592 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5592 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 233, 466, 699, 932, 1398, 1864, 2796, 5592
Therefore, since 5592 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5592 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
