To determine if 2975 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2975.
If the factors of 2975 are only 2975 and 1, then we know that 2975 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2975 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2975 is only divisible by 1 and 2975, then it is a prime number, and if 2975 is divisible by more than 2975 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2975 are as follows:
1, 5, 7, 17, 25, 35, 85, 119, 175, 425, 595, 2975
Therefore, since 2975 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2975 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
