No it is not. 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.

Is every number either prime or composite?
No. It IS true that every whole number is either prime or composite. But there are numbers that are not whole numbers, such as 2.5, which are neither prime nor composite.
Is it true that prime numbers have to be prime and composite?
Prime numbers can not composite as - Prime number has only 2 factors whereas composite have more than 2
Which is true about 143 It is a prime number It is a composite number It is a whole number that is neither prime nor composite or It is not a whole number?
We know that 143 is a whole number and that it has to be either prime or composite because all whole numbers other than 0 and 1 are one or the other. So, in order to determine if it is prime or composite, we need to know if any numbers besides 1 and 143 are factors. 1, 11, 13, and 143 are factors so 143 is a composite number.
Is true that two composite numbers are relatively prime?
No it does not mean that.
The prime factorization of any composite number includes prime and composite numbers True or false?
false sometimes it contains 2 primes it always comes out to a prime number

false sometimes it contains 2 primes it always comes out to a prime number
Is it true or false prime factorization renames a composite number as the product of prime factors?
True(Prime factorization is to write a composite number as a product of its prime factors).
Is it true or false that two composite numbers are relatively prime and explain?
Two composite numbers may or may not be relatively prime, depending on their factors. Relatively prime numbers are sets of two or more numbers having 1 as their greatest common factor (gcf). All even numbers have 2 as a common factor, so no even number is relatively prime with any other even number.
True or False A prime number cannot be factored into smaller whole numbers other than itself and 1 if so then why?
The answer to the first question is true. The answer to the second question is because if the number could be divided by anything but itself and one, then it would not be prime, it would be composite. That is simply the definition of a prime number.
Is every multiple of 5 a composite number true or false?
is every multiple of five a composite number true or false
Does a composite number have two or more factors true or false?
True - but the statement is also true for all prime numbers, so is not a particularly useful statement.
The prime factorization of any composite number includes three of more prime numbers true or false?
False. 2 x 5 = 10
Is it true or false that all numbers with a 0 in the ones' place are composite numbers?
It is true (as long as there are no decimal places after the ones place) because those numbers will always be divisible by 2, 5, and 10. With exception of the number zero which is neither prime nor composite.
