The number 51 is a composite number because it has factors other than 1 and itself. Specifically, 51 can be divided evenly by 1, 3, 17, and 51. In contrast, prime numbers are only divisible by 1 and themselves.

Well, honey, let me break it down for you. 51 is a composite number because it can be divided by 1, 3, 17, and 51. So, it's not part of the "prime" club, but hey, it's still a number just doing its thing.

51 is composite. Becasuse 17 x 3 = 51

It is two prime numbers multiplied together to make a composite.
