365 is not a prime number.


A prime number has only two positive divisors: 1 and itself.

For 365, the positive divisors are :

  • 1 is a divisor of 365 : 365/1=365365 / 1 = 365
  • 5 is a divisor of 365 : 365/5=73365 / 5 = 73
  • 73 is a divisor of 365 : 365/73=5365 / 73 = 5
  • 365 is a divisor of 365 : 365/365=1365 / 365 = 1

Since 365 is divisible by 5 and 73, it has divisors other than 1 and itself.

Therefore, 365 is not a prime number.
