Composite numbers have more than two of what?
Divisors. Primes are divisible by themselves, and one. Composite numbers also have other divisors.
What is the defintion of composite numbers?
Any number having more than two factors or divisors is a composite number. A prime number has exactly two divisors, 1 and the number itself, and 1 is not considered to be a prime nor a composite because it has only 1 proper factor.
Is 260 a prime number?
No, prime numbers must have exactly two divisors which result in an integer dividend; these numbers are one (1) and the number itself. Since 260 is an even number it has two (2) as a such a divisor. Thus, it has more than two and is not prime.
prime numbers of 50-60?
A prime number is a natural number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself. 53,59 are the two prime numbers
Why are no prime numbers perfect numbers?
Prime numbers have two factors. The sum of their proper divisors is always 1.
Composite numbers have more than two of what?
Divisors. Primes are divisible by themselves, and one. Composite numbers also have other divisors.
Do bigger numbers necessarily have more divisors?
No they do not, take a big prime number and compare it to a smaller composite number. The number 6833 as only two factors (divisors), namely 1 and itself. But the number 68 which is much smaller has more factors or divisors. 68 has 2 and 4 and 17 and 1 and itself which is already more divisors than 6833.
A whole number that has more than two divisors is?
Called a composite number.

What are two numbers mutltiplyed to get a product?
They are called factors or divisors.
prime numbers of 50-60?
A prime number is a natural number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself. 53,59 are the two prime numbers
What are all of the divisors of 100 between 1 and 10 that are integers or numbers with a max of two decimals ie 1.25?
Divisors are whole numbers. The divisors of 100 between 1 and 10 are 1, 2, 4, 5 and 10.
Why are no prime numbers perfect numbers?
Prime numbers have two factors. The sum of their proper divisors is always 1.
How would you describe the difference between a prime number and a composite number?
A prime number has only 2 divisors, 1 and itself. Any number with more than two divisors is a composite number. Composite numbers are made up of primes. Because of that, we can think of primes as the building blocks of composite numbers - just as we think of letters as the building blocks of words. For example, 3 is prime since its only divisors are 1 and 3. Now look at 6; it can be written as 2 x 3 so it has divisors, 1, 2, 3, and 6.A prime number is a positive integer with two factors: one and the number itself.A composite number is a positive integer with more than two factors.
What are the greatest common divisors of fifty-two?
You need at least two numbers to find a GCF.
Is 6 a divisor of 18 why or why not?
Yes. Any two numbers can be divisors or dividends.
