To determine if 3575 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3575.
If the factors of 3575 are only 3575 and 1, then we know that 3575 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3575 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3575 is only divisible by 1 and 3575, then it is a prime number, and if 3575 is divisible by more than 3575 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3575 are as follows:
1, 5, 11, 13, 25, 55, 65, 143, 275, 325, 715, 3575
Therefore, since 3575 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3575 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
