To determine if 5602 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5602.
If the factors of 5602 are only 5602 and 1, then we know that 5602 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5602 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5602 is only divisible by 1 and 5602, then it is a prime number, and if 5602 is divisible by more than 5602 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5602 are as follows:
1, 2, 2801, 5602
Therefore, since 5602 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5602 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
