A Prime number is a whole number that cannot be divided evenly by any other positive whole number except 1 and itself.
Can you think of a whole number you can divide 40 by other than 40 or 1?
If so, it is not a prime number.
No because 40 is a composite number with more than two factors.
It is a composite number because it has more than two factors
40 is composite.
40 is a composite number. This is because composite numbers are any number that has more than two factors(one and itself). Therefore, since 2 and 4 to name a few are factors of 40 that makes it a composite number.
42
composite because it has more than two factors.
It is a composite number because it's an even number and it has more than two factors
no Prime numbers are divisible only by themselves and 1. 40/10 = 4, for example, so no it is not prime.
no even number greater than 2 is prime so it is composite40 is a composite number. This is because composite numbers are any number that has more than two factors(one and itself). Therefore, since 2 and 4 to name a few are factors of 40 that makes it a composite number.
It is not a prime number, it is a composite number.
