It is neither. The concept of prime or composite is relevant for whole numbers greater than 1.
85 is a composite number because a number can equal it: 5 x 17 = 85
85 is a composite number because numbers other then 1 and itself equally go into it. 5 x 17 = 85, so 5 and 17 both go into 85 making it a composite number. (All numbers ending in 5 are composite, because 5 goes into them.)
composite because it has more than two factors.
70, 72, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 80, 81, 82, 84, 85 (including 70 and 85)

Try dividing it by 5....
Just 85 itself.
85 and 95 are both composite numbers because they have more than two factors

85 is composite.
composite
yes it is
85 is a composite number because it has more than two factors whereas prime numbers have only two factors
composite because it has more than two factors.
85 is not a prime number because it is divisible by 5. This means it is a composite number.
