LaToya says To check if a number is prime or composite i just use the divisibility rules for 2 3 4 5 6 8 9 and 10 If none of them work than the number is prime Does LaToya's method work for all number?

How do you notice that it is factors or prime or composite numbers?
First of all, every number is a factor - of its multiples.There is no general way to distinguish between prime and composite numbers. At one level, though, there are some simple ways. If the number is not 2, but ends in 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8 then it is a composite, If the number is not 5 but ends in 0 or 5 it is composite. If the number is not 3 but the sum of all the digits of a number is 3 or divisible by 3, then it is composite. There are moderately complicated divisibility rules for 7 and 11. But this method does not identify all composite numbers and there is no guaranteed method.
What is the name of Eratosthenes' method of finding composite numbers?
Eratosthenes' method of finding prime and composite number is called 'The Sieve of Eratosthene'.
What is your method of identifying all the composite numbers?
If a number has more than two factors, it's composite.
Can you explain a quick method for finding out whether a large number is divisible?
There are different divisibility rules for different [potential] divisors.
What Method used to find composite numbers?
To find a composite number, check if the number can be divided by 2,3,4,5, ect. If it can, it`s composite. If not, it`s prime.
What is the method to find the prime factors of a composite number?
prime numbers
Is 618 composite or prime?
618 is composite, because it is even. Also it is a multiple of 3 (from sum of digits method), so the answer is composite. Any number that ends with 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8 is a multiple of 2.

How was the Mathematician who found a very simple method for finding the prime and composite numbers in the third century BC?
Eratosthenes
What are the composite number between 17 and 140?
There are 94 of them so I guess you will have to work them out - best to use the sieve method.
