Is 175 a prime or composite number?

Answer

Number 175 is not a Prime

175 = 5² × 7

175 has 6 divisors — 1, 5, 7, 25, 35 and 175; a prime has exactly two: 1 and itself.

Primes up to √175

13² = 169 ≤ 175 < 196 = 14², so it is enough to try primes up to 13

  • ÷2 does not divide
  • ÷3 does not divide
  • ÷5 divides

175 ÷ 5 = 35 — 5 divides 175, so 175 is composite

Nearest primes: 173 and 179
