No, all numbers with a zero in the one's place are divisible by at least 1, themselves, and 2, which means they cannot be prime.

The possibilities for a digit in the ones place of a prime number greater than 5 are 1, 3, 7, and 9. If a 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8 is in the ones place, the number is divisible by 2, so it would not be prime. If a 5 is in the ones place, the number is divisible by 5, so it would not be prime.

What is 986.91 to the nearest whole number?

A whole number has no decimal places, so you'll be rounding to the ones place. The digit after the 6 in the ones place is greater than 5, so the number 6 is rounded up to 7. Therefore, the nearest whole number is 987.


How can you tell 32 and 95 are not prime numbers without finding their factors?

32 is an even number (look at the ones place). The only even prime is 2. 95 has 5 as a factor (again look at the ones place). Multiples of 5 have a 0 or 5 in the ones place.That is how you figer out if 32 and 95 in not a prime number.


What is the whole number 60.82?

look to the place value just to the right of the one asked for...the whole number. "One whole" is "0," or the number in the "ones place..." The rule for rounding states that you must look one place value to the right (8) and decide whether that number is 5 or more (which it is). therefore, we round the "ones place" UP one digit to a "1." 60.82 rounded to the nearest whole number is 61, or 61.00.
