235 is a composite number because it has more than two divisors - contrary to a prime which has exactly two divisors: 1 and the prime itself.

235 has 4 divisors: 1, 5, 47 and 235.

A quick way to determine this is done by looking at the last digit. If it is either 0 or 5 the number is divisible by 5, thus it is not a prime.

Composite: since the final digit is 5, it's divisible by 5.
