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