To determine if 3675 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3675.
If the factors of 3675 are only 3675 and 1, then we know that 3675 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3675 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3675 is only divisible by 1 and 3675, then it is a prime number, and if 3675 is divisible by more than 3675 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3675 are as follows:
1, 3, 5, 7, 15, 21, 25, 35, 49, 75, 105, 147, 175, 245, 525, 735, 1225, 3675
Therefore, since 3675 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3675 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
