Which one of these numbers is a composite number: 17, 51, 97, or 89?


\dashrightarrow\large\textsf{\textbf{\underline{Answer and how to solve:-}}}

Composite numbers are divisible by 3 or more numbers.

17 is divisible by 1 and 17 only, so it's not composite.

51 is divisible by 1, 51, 3, and 17, so it's composite.

97 and 89 are divisible by two numbers only, so they are not composite.

So we conclude that the answer is

51

Good luck with your studies.
