Answer :
A prime number has only two factors . .. ' 1 ' and itself.
If we can find any other factors of 85 besides ' 1 ' and 85,
then it's not prime. Let's check:
The factors of 85 are 1, 5, 17, and 85 .
Each of these numbers divides into 85 evenly (with no remainder).
So I guess it's a composite number.
