Is 51 a prime or composite number?

Answer

Number 51 is not a Prime

51 = 3 × 17

51 has 4 divisors — 1, 3, 17 and 51; a prime has exactly two: 1 and itself.

Primes up to √51

7² = 49 ≤ 51 < 64 = 8², so it is enough to try primes up to 7

÷2 does not divide
÷3 divides

51 ÷ 3 = 17 — 3 divides 51, so 51 is composite

Nearest primes: 47 and 53
