To determine if 5425 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5425.
If the factors of 5425 are only 5425 and 1, then we know that 5425 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5425 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5425 is only divisible by 1 and 5425, then it is a prime number, and if 5425 is divisible by more than 5425 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5425 are as follows:
1, 5, 7, 25, 31, 35, 155, 175, 217, 775, 1085, 5425
Therefore, since 5425 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5425 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
