A prime is a number with exactly two factors, itself and one. Note that 1 is neither prime nor composite, as it has exactly one factor, and that there is only one even prime, 2.
Neither. The property of prime or composite is not defined for 1, just as it is not defined for 0 or 0.5.
The property of prime or composite is not defined for the number 1, just as it is not defined for any number that has a fractional part. There are no special names for numbers that are not prime nor composite.
This is impossible. A prime number is defined as a number that is only divisible by one and itself. Thus, a 'prime' number capable of being divided by another prime number is by definition not a prime number.
A prime number is defined as a number with only two positive integer factors - itself and the number 1.
21 is the product of two prime numbers, three and seven. A prime number is defined as a number divisible only by one or itself. So ... NO ... 21 is not a prime number.
No it isn't, it's divisible by 10 and 2 and 5. Also, No 780 is not a prime number. A prime number is defined as a number whos divisbility is 1 and its self.
It is because that is how the properties of being prime or composite are defined.
For two reasons. 1) Prime numbers are defined a integers greater than 1. 2) No prime number can be even and 0 is an even number.
2 is not a prime number because a prime number is defined as a number greater than 1 that has only two factors: 1 and itself. Since 2 only has these two factors, it meets the definition of a prime number.
Negative numbers are not considered primes. Prime numbers are defined for positive integers. The smalles prime number is 2. by Alexis Assad
341 is not a prime number. Prime numbers are defined as numbers which can be divided by 1 and themselves. 341 can be divided by 11 and 31 in addition to 1 and iteslf. Hence, 341 is not a prime number.
No. The concept of prime is defined only for natural numbers greater than 1.
