To determine if 5655 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5655.
If the factors of 5655 are only 5655 and 1, then we know that 5655 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5655 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5655 is only divisible by 1 and 5655, then it is a prime number, and if 5655 is divisible by more than 5655 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5655 are as follows:
1, 3, 5, 13, 15, 29, 39, 65, 87, 145, 195, 377, 435, 1131, 1885, 5655
Therefore, since 5655 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5655 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
