To determine if 5601 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5601.
If the factors of 5601 are only 5601 and 1, then we know that 5601 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5601 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5601 is only divisible by 1 and 5601, then it is a prime number, and if 5601 is divisible by more than 5601 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5601 are as follows:
1, 3, 1867, 5601
Therefore, since 5601 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5601 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 5602 prime or composite?
