What is the same between prime and composite numbers?
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. So 'what is the same', is that both prime and composite numbers have 1 as a factor, and itself as a factor.
Can 2 numbers have the same prime factorization?
Only if they're the same number. Every composite number has a unique prime factorization.
Is the product of a prime number the same as the prime factorization?
A prime factorization is the same as expressing a composite number as the product of its prime factors. Prime numbers don't have factorizations; they're already prime.
Can composite and prime numbers be the same?
No they can not. A prime number has only 2 factors which are 1 and itself. Composite numbers are everything else except 1, 2, and 0. 1, 2, and 0 have a different name.
Is 124 prime or composite number?
The same as every other even numbers greater than 2, 124 is a composite number.
How you find sum of prime numbers?
Prime numbers have only two factors which are themselves and one and they add up in the same way as composite numbers which have more than two factors
What are two composite numbers with the GCF of 1?
Any two composite numbers who do not share the same prime factors.15 = 5x322 = 11x2So 15 and 22 have a GCF of 1
Are all odd numbers is prime numbers?
Not all prime numbers are odd. There is one prime number that is even: 2. A prime number is a number with two and only two factors: 1 (also known as unity) and itself. A composite number is a number with more than two factors. All even numbers are divisible by 2. Thus, all even numbers have 2 as a factor, which means that all even numbers greater than 2 have more than two factors, so they cannot be prime numbers.
Can composite numbers be negative?
A composite number is defined as a "positive integer with a positive divisor other than one and itself". So therefore, while negative numbers can have factors in the same way as positive numbers, none is considered prime.
Why is 1 or 0 not composite or prime?
1 is not prime or composite because first, prime numbers are divisible by 1 and itself so 1 is itself and that is only one number. It is not composite because it only has one factor, itself. 0 is not prime or composite because it has an infinite number of divisors because any whole number that isn't 0 divides 0. It can't be written as two numbers so it can't be prime and for that same reason it can't even be composite.
Is 29 a prime number composite?
No, because prime and a composite number are the opposite and cannot be the same.
Can a prime and composite number be the same?
No, they can not be both. A prime number has only 2 factors which are 1 and itself. Composite numbers are everything else except 1, 2, and 0. 1, 2, and 0 have a different name.
