<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Divide 545 by 5. Since the last digit is 5, it is divisible by 5. 5 is a factor of 545.</p>
23
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Divide 545 by 109. It is divisible by 109, so 109 is also a factor of 545.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Divide 545 by 109. It is divisible by 109, so 109 is also a factor of 545.</p>
24
<p>Since 545 has more than two divisors (1, 5, 109, and 545), it is a composite number.</p>

30
<p><strong>Divisibility by 5:</strong>The last digit is 5, so 545 is divisible by 5.</p>
32
<p><strong>Divisibility by 7:</strong>Double the last digit (5 × 2 = 10) and subtract from the rest (54 - 10 = 44). Since 44 is not divisible by 7, 545 is not divisible by 7.</p>
31
<p><strong>Divisibility by 7:</strong>Double the last digit (5 × 2 = 10) and subtract from the rest (54 - 10 = 44). Since 44 is not divisible by 7, 545 is not divisible by 7.</p>
33
<p><strong>Divisibility by 11:</strong>The difference between the sum of the digits in odd positions and even positions is 0, which is divisible by 11, so 545 is divisible by 11.</p>
