Is 124 prime or composite number?
The same as every other even numbers greater than 2, 124 is a composite number.
Is a composite number the same as a prime number?
No. A prime number has exactly two factors: 1 and itself. A composite number has more than two factors.
Can 2 numbers have the same prime factorization?
Only if they're the same number. Every composite number has a unique prime factorization.
Why is 1 or 0 not composite or prime?
1 is not prime or composite because first, prime numbers are divisible by 1 and itself so 1 is itself and that is only one number. It is not composite because it only has one factor, itself. 0 is not prime or composite because it has an infinite number of divisors because any whole number that isn't 0 divides 0. It can't be written as two numbers so it can't be prime and for that same reason it can't even be composite.
Are all odd numbers is prime numbers?
Not all prime numbers are odd. There is one prime number that is even: 2. A prime number is a number with two and only two factors: 1 (also known as unity) and itself. A composite number is a number with more than two factors. All even numbers are divisible by 2. Thus, all even numbers have 2 as a factor, which means that all even numbers greater than 2 have more than two factors, so they cannot be prime numbers.
Is 124 prime or composite number?
The same as every other even numbers greater than 2, 124 is a composite number.
Is 29 a prime number composite?
No, because prime and a composite number are the opposite and cannot be the same.
Is a composite number the same as a prime number?
No. A prime number has exactly two factors: 1 and itself. A composite number has more than two factors.
Can 2 numbers have the same prime factorization?
Only if they're the same number. Every composite number has a unique prime factorization.
Why is 1 or 0 not composite or prime?
1 is not prime or composite because first, prime numbers are divisible by 1 and itself so 1 is itself and that is only one number. It is not composite because it only has one factor, itself. 0 is not prime or composite because it has an infinite number of divisors because any whole number that isn't 0 divides 0. It can't be written as two numbers so it can't be prime and for that same reason it can't even be composite.
Is the product of a prime number the same as the prime factorization?
A prime factorization is the same as expressing a composite number as the product of its prime factors. Prime numbers don't have factorizations; they're already prime.
Are all odd numbers is prime numbers?
Not all prime numbers are odd. There is one prime number that is even: 2. A prime number is a number with two and only two factors: 1 (also known as unity) and itself. A composite number is a number with more than two factors. All even numbers are divisible by 2. Thus, all even numbers have 2 as a factor, which means that all even numbers greater than 2 have more than two factors, so they cannot be prime numbers.
What is the same between prime and composite numbers?
A prime number has only 2 factors which are 1 and itself. Composite numbers are everything else, except 1 and 0. 1 and 0 are neither prime, nor composite. So 'what is the same', is that both prime and composite numbers have 1 as a factor, and itself as a factor.
How do you check if a large number is prime or a composite number?
You divide the number by 2. If the number is able to divide WITHOUT a remainder, then it is a prime number. If you divide a number by 1, you will get the same number. That is not a prime number.
What is a prime number times a prime number?
A prime number times a prime number is a composite number. Since prime numbers, except for 2, are odd numbers, a prime number times a prime number is usually an odd number. It will only be an even number if one of the prime numbers is 2. A prime number times a prime number will be a number with four factors unless both prime numbers are the same, in which case it will be a square number with only three factors.
Can a prime and composite number be the same?
No, they can not be both. A prime number has only 2 factors which are 1 and itself. Composite numbers are everything else except 1, 2, and 0. 1, 2, and 0 have a different name.
Are prime numbers and composite numbers the same?
No --primes and composites are not the same. In fact they are mutually exclusive concepts. A prime number is a number other than one that can only be divided by itself and one. Examples are 2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19. (There are infinitely many more) A composite is a number with a divisor other than itself and one. Examples are 4 ( 2 is a divisor), 6 ( 3 and 2 are divisors),15 ( 3 and 5 are divisors). Every (positive whole) number is either prime or composite, One is special- neither prime nor composite. Prime - Divided only by 1 and itself. Composite - can be divided by a number other than one and itself. Bam bam simple math.
