If the number is a product of two composite numbers, it must be 16, which is the product of 4 and 4. The prime factors of 16 are 2, 2, 2, and 2. The smallest composite number is 4, so the smallest possible product of two composite numbers is 4 x 4 = 16.
The product of two prime numbers will be composite.
Prime factorization is writing a composite number as a product of prime numbers.
Yes. Composite numbers can be written as the product of prime factors.
No not always because composite numbers can be the product of 2 or more prime factors
the prime factorization
A composite number.
A composite number is the product of two or more prime numbers.
composite
Showing a composite number as a product of prime numbers is called prime factorization.
A composite number can be expressed as the product of two or more prime numbers. For example, 30 (composite) is 2 x 3 x 5 [2, 3 and 5 are prime] A prime number cannot be expressed as the product of other numbers. By convention the numbers zero and 1 are neither prime nor composite.
The product of two prime numbers is always a composite number, and it never is a prime number.
Prime numbers are used to find the product of the prime factors of composite numbers.
