To determine if 1475 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1475.
If the factors of 1475 are only 1475 and 1, then we know that 1475 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1475 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1475 is only divisible by 1 and 1475, then it is a prime number, and if 1475 is divisible by more than 1475 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1475 are as follows:
1, 5, 25, 59, 295, 1475
Therefore, since 1475 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1475 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1476 prime or composite?
