Answer:

55 is not a Prime number. It is a composite number.

Definition:

A prime number has exactly two factors: 1 (also known as unity) and itself. A composite number has more than two factors; in other words, it has at least one factor besides 1 and itself.

Explanation:

Any number ending in 0 or 5 is evenly divisible by 5, so it has 5 as a factor. Thus, 55 is also divisible by 5, so it is a composite number.
