51 is divisible by 3, therefor it is composite. A Prime number has only 2 factors which are 1 and itself. Composite numbers are everything else except 1, 2, and 0. 1, 2, and 0 have a different name.

Checking Divisibility by 3 of 51:

Sum of digits: 5+1 = 6

6 is divisible by 3.

Therefore 51 is divisible by 3. (17 x 3 = 51)

Hence 51 is a composite number
