To determine if 475 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 475.
If the factors of 475 are only 475 and 1, then we know that 475 is a prime number. Otherwise, 475 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 475 is only divisible by 1 and 475, then it is a prime number, and if 475 is divisible by more than 475 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 475 are as follows:
1, 5, 19, 25, 95, 475
Therefore, since 475 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 475 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 476 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 475 is a composite number. Use our logic above and see if
you can figure out if the next number on our list is prime or composite before you check your answer.
