Fill in the blanks for a prime number:
□5
To solve this problem, we'll fill in the missing digit and verify the primality of the constructed number:
- List potential digits to fill in the square: These range from 0 to 9.
- Apply the prime number test for each potential number:
- 05: Not a valid number, as it's less than 10.
- 15: Divisible by 3 (15÷3=5).
- 25: Divisible by 5.
- 35: Divisible by 5.
- 45: Divisible by 5.
- 55: Divisible by 5.
- 65: Divisible by 5.
- 75: Divisible by 5.
- 85: Divisible by 5.
- 95: Divisible by 5.
- After testing all candidate numbers, only 05 was incorrectly formed as it is less than 10. All other numbers are non-prime because they have additional factors; numbers ending with 5 are divisible by 5.
- Thus, only 05, where the □ is replaced by 0, fits the requirement, resulting in a more sensible reading as simply 5, which is indeed prime.
Therefore, the solution to the problem is 0.
