To determine if 3875 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3875.
If the factors of 3875 are only 3875 and 1, then we know that 3875 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3875 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3875 is only divisible by 1 and 3875, then it is a prime number, and if 3875 is divisible by more than 3875 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3875 are as follows:
1, 5, 25, 31, 125, 155, 775, 3875
Therefore, since 3875 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3875 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
