To determine if 5632 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5632.
If the factors of 5632 are only 5632 and 1, then we know that 5632 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5632 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5632 is only divisible by 1 and 5632, then it is a prime number, and if 5632 is divisible by more than 5632 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5632 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 16, 22, 32, 44, 64, 88, 128, 176, 256, 352, 512, 704, 1408, 2816, 5632
Therefore, since 5632 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5632 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
