Why is every multiple of 5 a composite number?
Not all (5 is prime) but every multiple of 5 greater than 5 is composite because they have more than two factors. Every multiple of any integer greater than one is composite.
Can every prime number except 2 must be 1 more or 1 less than a multiple of 4?
Every prime number except 2 must be odd. This is because if it were even it would be divisible by 2 and so wouldn't be a prime number. The next point to note is that all odd numbers are one more or one less than a multiple of 4. Because 2 more than a multiple of 4 is even, and 3 more than a multiple of 4 is the same as 1 less than the multiple of 4 above. Thus every prime number except 2 must be 1 more or 1 less than a multiple of 4.
Does the exception for two and three every prime number on a hundred chart is either one more or one less than a multiple of what?
In that range, every prime number is either one more or one less than a multiple of 4. This also works for 6.
What is a number greater than one with more than two factors?
Every number greater than 1 has 1 and the number itself as factors. If it has no other factors besides these two factors, it is a prime number. If it has more factors than 1 and itself, it is a composite number.
What is the greatest common multiple of 7?
There can never be a greatest common multiple of one number for two reasons:"Common" refers to a multiple that is common to two or more numbers. You cannot have a multiple that is common, but only to one number.If X is the greatest common multiple of a set of numbers, then any multiple of X will also be a common multiple of each member of the set and it will be greater than X. And then, any multiple of this number will be a multiple of each member of the set and will be greater still. And then ...
What is the LCM and gcm of 48 72 and 96?
LCM(48, 72, 96) = 288 There is no GCM because any multiple of 288 is a common multiple. If any number lays claim to being a GCM, then that number+288 will also be a common multiple and will be greater. And 288 more will be greater still. And so on.
What number is the most common multiple of twelve and sixteen?
There is no "most common" multiple of two or more numbers, but there is a greatest common multiple if that's what you mean. But for multiples, the list of common ones goes on and on and on, since every single number in the universe is a multiple.
What is a number that is multiple of two or more numbers is a?

What is difference of prime and a multiple?

4
What number that is a multiple of 6 between 29 and 30 and that divided by 6 is more than 5?
If a number, when divided by 6, is more than 5, then the number must be greater than 30 and so cannot be between 29 and 30.
Why is any number with the most digits greater?
It is greater because with more digits the greater the value of the number will be.
