To determine if 5175 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5175.
If the factors of 5175 are only 5175 and 1, then we know that 5175 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5175 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5175 is only divisible by 1 and 5175, then it is a prime number, and if 5175 is divisible by more than 5175 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5175 are as follows:
1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 23, 25, 45, 69, 75, 115, 207, 225, 345, 575, 1035, 1725, 5175
Therefore, since 5175 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5175 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 5176 prime or composite?
