Try dividing it by the smallest prime (2), then the next one (3) and continue until you have tried out the all the primes up to and including the square root of the number. In this case 3 will do the trick.
You do not need to find the quotient, you only need check for divisibility. So 5+1 = 6 and since 6 is divisible by 3, 51 is also divisible by 3.
No, 51 is not a prime number. A prime number is a number that has only itself and 1 as a factor. 51's factors are 1,3,17, and 51.
61 is a prime number. 49 is not a prime number as it is divisible by 7. 51 is not a prime number as it is divisible by 3.
51 is not a prime number: 3x17=51
the next prime number after 51 is 60 :)
47, yes. 51, no.
51 is a composite number but 61 is a prime number
ANSWER: 61 is a prime number but 51 is a composite number.61 is a prime number because the factors of 61 are 1 and itself (61).51 is a composite number because the factors of 51 other 1 and itself (51) are 3 and 17.
No, it is not a prime number. It has factors of: 1, 3, 17, 51.
51 = 3x17
51 is not a prime number, since it has more than two factors.
Prime.
131 is a prime number 29 is a prime number so the answer is 131/51 = 2 and 29/51 (a mixed number). Note as 29 is also a prime number, the proper fraction 29/51 can not be simplified.
