Question

is 41 a prime number or a composite number?
prime number
composite number

Explanation:

A prime number is a number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself. For 41, we check divisibility by numbers up to its square root ($\sqrt{41} \approx 6.4$). It is not divisible by 2, 3, or 5, so it only has 1 and 41 as divisors.

Answer:

prime number
