To determine if 5611 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5611.
If the factors of 5611 are only 5611 and 1, then we know that 5611 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5611 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5611 is only divisible by 1 and 5611, then it is a prime number, and if 5611 is divisible by more than 5611 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5611 are as follows:
1, 31, 181, 5611
Therefore, since 5611 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5611 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 5612 prime or composite?
