Using the Counting Divisors Method

This method will find the total number of divisors of the given number.  If there are more than two divisors, then the given number is composite, not prime.


The divisors of 95 = 1, 5, 19, 95


Therefore, 95 is not prime.

Using the Divisibility Test Method

The divisibility method determines whether a number is composite or not. Make use of the divisibility rule of 2 (if the number is even), the divisibility rule of 3 (if the sum of digits is a multiple of 3), and so on.  The number 95 is divisible by 5, we use the divisibility rule of 5. Hence, factors of 95 are 1, 5, 19, and 95.
