Answer:

Prime number

Explanation:

41 is a prime number.

How to test:

Divide 41 by every whole number from 1 until about it's square root.

√41 is about 6.4, round up to 7.

If any quotient is not a decimal number, 41 is not prime.

41/2 = 20.5

41/3 = 13.7

41/4 = 10.25

41/5 = 8.2

41/6 = 6.8

41/7 = 5.9

These are all decimal numbers.
