To determine if 5608 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5608.
If the factors of 5608 are only 5608 and 1, then we know that 5608 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5608 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5608 is only divisible by 1 and 5608, then it is a prime number, and if 5608 is divisible by more than 5608 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5608 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 701, 1402, 2804, 5608
Therefore, since 5608 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5608 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
