To determine if 5615 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5615.
If the factors of 5615 are only 5615 and 1, then we know that 5615 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5615 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5615 is only divisible by 1 and 5615, then it is a prime number, and if 5615 is divisible by more than 5615 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5615 are as follows:
