alleryWhich of the following numbers is prime?
- 61
- 63
- 51
- 57
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: A. 61
61 has no divisors other than 1 and itself.
51 = 3·17, 57 = 3·19, 63 = 7·9. So 61 is the prime.

Worked practice questions
The prime factorisation of 360 is:
- 2² × 3² × 5²
- 2³ × 3² × 5
- 2² × 3³ × 5
- 2³ × 3 × 5²
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: B. 2³ × 3² × 5
We have 360 = 8 × 45.
That is 360 = 2³ × 9 × 5.
So 360 = 2³ × 3² × 5.
The Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic guarantees that:
- no two primes are equal
- primes are infinite
- composites factor uniquely
- all integers are prime
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: C. composites factor uniquely
The theorem says: every composite number factorises into primes, and that factorisation is unique up to the order of the factors.
