      Naw, 5 + 1 = 6, 6 is divisible by 3, so 51 is divisible by 3.

      Only if you weren’t taught (or were, but too long ago lol) the divisible by 3 rule - if the sum of the digits is divisible by 3, so is the whole number. 5+1=6 therefore 51 is divisible by 3! Bonus division rule - if it was also an even number and therefore divisible by 2, you could deduce that the whole number was divisible by 6.

        Actually, 51 is not divisible by 3!

        It is divisible by 3

      Agreed. 51 looks prime AF.

      Surely it’s 1? Looks prime, and some people will even argue that it is!

    I always felt that 21 should be, but nooo. Stupid 7

      21 should be

      2 + 1 = 3, therefore 21 is divisible by 3 and is not prime. QED :)

        9+1 = 10, therefore 91 is divisible by 10 and is not a prime … QED, I guess

          In the right base, that might work.
