How do you know if a number is a composite number?

There is no simple answer. You need to check for divisibility by every number from 2 up to its square root. There are some simple rules for checking for divisibility by small numbers. As soon as you have found one such factor you know that it is a composite number.The fact that it is so difficult to tell is why composite numbers made up of two large primes are used for data encryption.


How do you notice that it is factors or prime or composite numbers?

First of all, every number is a factor - of its multiples.There is no general way to distinguish between prime and composite numbers. At one level, though, there are some simple ways. If the number is not 2, but ends in 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8 then it is a composite, If the number is not 5 but ends in 0 or 5 it is composite. If the number is not 3 but the sum of all the digits of a number is 3 or divisible by 3, then it is composite. There are moderately complicated divisibility rules for 7 and 11. But this method does not identify all composite numbers and there is no guaranteed method.

How do you teach children how to determine if a number is a prime or composite number?

There is no simple way - not only for children but also for expert mathematicians. For small numbers it is relatively simple. First establish a set of primes: these are integers that cannot be divided evenly by any smaller integer (other than 1).Then, if any given integer (>1) can be divided by any of these numbers, it is composite, and if not it is a prime.As you get more sophisticated, you will learn that it is only necessary to test for divisibility by numbers up to (and including the square root of the given number (if that is an integer). Other than that, there is no simple rule that children can apply.In fact, although there are some "formulae" that are likely to give primes, they are not guaranteed. In general, there is no pattern to primes and, therefore, to composites.


Why are all prime numbers odd except for 2?

Simple. 2 has only 1 and 2 as factors, right? Now, if we take any EVEN numbers, they'd have 1, 2, itself, and possibly more factors, which makes all even numbers composite. Therefore, only odd numbers can be prime.


Is 350 composite or prime?

350 is a composite number. it can be divisible by 10, 35, 5, 2 etc. You will find it easier to tell between prime and composite if you know the divisibility rules. one simple one is that if a number ends with zero it is divisible by 10...there are a lot of other divisibility rules.
