1 and 5

Prime numbers have only two factors. Composite numbers have more than two.
"Either" is used for two. I'll assume that you mean "larger than ANY of them". The following applies to ANY real numbers.For TWO numbers, the product is larger than either of them if both numbers are greater than one. For THREE numbers, the product is larger than any of them if the two numbers OTHER than the largest number have a product greater than one. For example: 0.5, 3, 5 The largest number here is 5; the product of the OTHER two is 0.5 x 3 = 1.5. Or here is an example with integers: -5, -3, 10 The product of the "other two" numbers is 15, which is larger than one - so the product of all three is larger than the largest number (and therefore, larger than ANY of them). Another example: -5, 1, 10 The product of the two numbers OTHER than the largest is -5 x 1 = -5; since this is NOT greater than 1, the product of all three is NOT greater than any of the numbers. This reasoning can be extended to four or more numbers. For 4 numbers: If the product of all three numbers OTHER than the largest one is GREATER than one, then the product of ALL FOUR numbers is greater than ANY of them.
12 and 12, whose squares will be 144 each. If either of the numbers is smaller than 12, then the other will be larger than 12 and its square will be larger than 144.
When one of two numbers is a multiple of the other, the LCM is the larger number.

The larger number is 1. In the number line, positive numbers are always greater than negative numbers, so 1 is greater than -10. Thus, 1 is the larger of the two numbers.
no primes other than two are even numbers. this is simply because any number larger then 2 can always be divided by two and itself while 2 can only be divided by 2 and 2 is itself. hope this was helpful

It is a comparison between two numbers or measurements. It can be understood as a factor - how much larger one number is than the other.
