Is 315 a prime or composite number?

Answer

Number 315 is not a Prime

315 = 3² × 5 × 7

315 has 12 divisors, not two: a prime is divisible only by 1 and itself.

Primes up to √315

17² = 289 ≤ 315 < 324 = 18², so it is enough to try primes up to 17

  • ÷2 does not divide
  • ÷3 divides

315 ÷ 3 = 105 — 3 divides 315, so 315 is composite

Nearest primes: 313 and 317
