To determine if 7175 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7175.
If the factors of 7175 are only 7175 and 1, then we know that 7175 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7175 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7175 is only divisible by 1 and 7175, then it is a prime number, and if 7175 is divisible by more than 7175 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7175 are as follows:
1, 5, 7, 25, 35, 41, 175, 205, 287, 1025, 1435, 7175
Therefore, since 7175 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7175 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
