To determine if 5650 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5650.
If the factors of 5650 are only 5650 and 1, then we know that 5650 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5650 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5650 is only divisible by 1 and 5650, then it is a prime number, and if 5650 is divisible by more than 5650 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5650 are as follows:
1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, 113, 226, 565, 1130, 2825, 5650
Therefore, since 5650 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5650 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 5651 prime or composite?
