Yes 165 is composite. Since the ones digit is a 5, then it is divisible by 5.

Also, since the sum of the digits = 12 (which is divisible by 3) then 165 is also divisible by 3.

We now know that it has more than 2 factors. A number always has factors of one (1) and itself. If those are the only 2 factors, then the number is prime, but if there are other factors, then it is composite. If that's all you have to determine, you can stop there.
