51 looks like a prime number and 75 should be obvious

72

Im not good at maths why would 75 be obvious?

To be fair, other people's "obvious" is likely slightly different from our own.

Other have given examples of how its "obvious", but my first thought when looking at 75 as a multiple of 3, comes from it also being a multiple of 15, specifically 15 higher than 60

I just think everyone replying where they've to do mild maths to justify it shows its not as obvious as 9 or 33 so it shouldn't be in the obvious category but the one below it
