To determine if 5661 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5661.
If the factors of 5661 are only 5661 and 1, then we know that 5661 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5661 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5661 is only divisible by 1 and 5661, then it is a prime number, and if 5661 is divisible by more than 5661 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5661 are as follows:
1, 3, 9, 17, 37, 51, 111, 153, 333, 629, 1887, 5661
Therefore, since 5661 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5661 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 5662 prime or composite?
