To determine if 2875 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2875.
If the factors of 2875 are only 2875 and 1, then we know that 2875 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2875 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2875 is only divisible by 1 and 2875, then it is a prime number, and if 2875 is divisible by more than 2875 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2875 are as follows:
1, 5, 23, 25, 115, 125, 575, 2875
Therefore, since 2875 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2875 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
