How is making rectangles from square tiles help you define and identify prime numbers and composite?

If you can only make one rectangle, your number's prime. If you can make more than one, it's composite.


How many rectangles can you build with a prime number square tiles?

Given P = Prime number then you can build (P-1)/2 number of rectangles given any prime number. All prime numbers are odd and you would need two squares to make a rectangle. Given that you need two squares to build a rectangle, you divide your prime number by two to get the number of "pairs" of squares and thus the number of rectangles you can build. Since the number 2 does not divide evenly into an odd number - all prime numbers are odd - then you either subtract one from the prime number before dividing or discard the remainder if you choose not to subtract one before dividing.

Can 2 rectangles make a square?

All squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares. Basically, a square is a rectangle where all sides are the same length. However, providing that the width is half of the length, or vice versa, and you join the two rectangles along the one of the sides that is longer, two rectangles can make a square. Example: 1x2 rectangle joined with another 1x2 rectangle will make a 2x2 square.


How can making rectangles from units help define and identify prime and composite numbers?
