To determine if 5635 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5635.
If the factors of 5635 are only 5635 and 1, then we know that 5635 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5635 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5635 is only divisible by 1 and 5635, then it is a prime number, and if 5635 is divisible by more than 5635 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5635 are as follows:
1, 5, 7, 23, 35, 49, 115, 161, 245, 805, 1127, 5635
Therefore, since 5635 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5635 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
