To determine if 3525 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3525.
If the factors of 3525 are only 3525 and 1, then we know that 3525 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3525 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3525 is only divisible by 1 and 3525, then it is a prime number, and if 3525 is divisible by more than 3525 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3525 are as follows:
1, 3, 5, 15, 25, 47, 75, 141, 235, 705, 1175, 3525
Therefore, since 3525 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3525 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
