To determine if 6875 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6875.
If the factors of 6875 are only 6875 and 1, then we know that 6875 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6875 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6875 is only divisible by 1 and 6875, then it is a prime number, and if 6875 is divisible by more than 6875 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6875 are as follows:
1, 5, 11, 25, 55, 125, 275, 625, 1375, 6875
Therefore, since 6875 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 6875 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
