To determine if 5475 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5475.
If the factors of 5475 are only 5475 and 1, then we know that 5475 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5475 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5475 is only divisible by 1 and 5475, then it is a prime number, and if 5475 is divisible by more than 5475 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5475 are as follows:
1, 3, 5, 15, 25, 73, 75, 219, 365, 1095, 1825, 5475
Therefore, since 5475 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5475 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
