Knowing the divisibility rules will help you by being able to recognize if a number has factors (other than one and itself) which are covered by the rules. This will save actually having to start doing divisions.
If a number is divisible by 3 or more numbers than that number is composite, if not than it is prime.
If a number is divisible by anything other than itself and 1, it's composite.
Yes you canYes. If a number is divisible by anything other than one or itself, it's composite.
400 is a composite number because it is divisible by more than two numbers. Because it ends in a 0, the divisibility rules indicate it is divisible by 2, 5, and 10. (It is also divisible by other numbers.) It is not a prime number because a prime number has exactly two factors, 1 and itself.
A composite number is a positive integer with more than two factors.
If a number is divisible by 3 or more numbers than that number is composite, if not than it is prime.
If a number is divisible by anything other than itself and 1, it's composite.
It is a composite number: it has factors other than 1 and itself.
Yes you canYes. If a number is divisible by anything other than one or itself, it's composite.
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.

A composite number is a positive integer with more than two factors.
Every even number greater than two is composite.
Divide the smaller into the larger. If the quotient is an integer, the smaller is a factor of the larger.
Any even number is divisible by 2.
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.
10, 25, 50 are the composite factors of the composite number 50. 2 and 5 are prime.
