It is a composite number because it has more than 2 factors
It is a composite number.
composite
'98' is a COMPOUND Number. Compound numbers are the product of the multiplication of two( or more) smaller numbers. 2 x 49 = 98 ( So '98' is a compound number) NB Any even number , except '2' , is a compound number. Even numbers are those that end in 0,2,4,6,8 NNB Prime numbers always, except '2' itself, end in an odd number, except '5'. So e.g. 1,000,002 is Compound, it ends in '2' . It is NOT prime. 1,000,000,015 is a compound number, because it ends in '5'. The odd number exception.
a composite number
The prime factorisation of 98 is 2*7squared
Composite, it is divisible by 2,7,14, and 49
The number 98 is a composite number because it can be divided into 2 equally and the answer would be 49. Hoped this helped.
No, 98 is divisible by 2; therefore, it is a composite number.
Since it ends with an 8, it's an even number, which means it's divisible by 2. That's all we need, in order to know that it can't be a prime number, so it must be composite. Put that little factoid in your pocket and keep it: No even number except 2 is a prime number.
composite because it has more than two factors.
As for example 98 as a product of its prime factors is: 2*7*7 = 98
A prime number has only 2 factors which are 1 and itself. Composite numbers are everything else except 1 and 0. 1 and 0 are neither prime, nor composite. 98 is composite.
