To determine if 5631 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5631.
If the factors of 5631 are only 5631 and 1, then we know that 5631 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5631 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5631 is only divisible by 1 and 5631, then it is a prime number, and if 5631 is divisible by more than 5631 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5631 are as follows:
1, 3, 1877, 5631
Therefore, since 5631 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5631 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
