That '8' at the end of it is an immediate tip-off.

That tells you that '258' is an even number. All even numbers are composite,

because they're all multiples of 2.

It so happens that 258 is also divisible by 3, 6, 43, 86, and 129. Any one of these

makes it a composite number. But just knowing that it's an even number was enough

to tell us that.

Is 515 a prime number or a composite number?

515 is a composite number. NB Remember #1 ; Any number ending in an even number ( 0,2,4,6,8) is composite. #2 ; Any number ending in '0' or '5' is composite. #3 ; Any number whose digits sum to '9' is composite. e.g. 135 = 1 + 3 + 5 = 9 is a multiple of '9'. #4 ; You only need to divide by '3' or '7' to test for prime number. It the result is a whole number then it is NOT a prime. NNB Since the above number , 515, ands in ;5; then it is composite.
