To determine if 7475 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7475.
If the factors of 7475 are only 7475 and 1, then we know that 7475 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7475 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7475 is only divisible by 1 and 7475, then it is a prime number, and if 7475 is divisible by more than 7475 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7475 are as follows:
1, 5, 13, 23, 25, 65, 115, 299, 325, 575, 1495, 7475
Therefore, since 7475 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7475 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
