the proper factors are the factors of a number not including the number itself, or 1.
No, those are prime numbers. Composite numbers can have besides 1 and itself. For example, let's say the number is 35. You can multiply 1 and 35, but you can also say 5 multiplied by 7. That is composite.
Square numbers have an odd number of factors.
PRIME NUMBERS are numbers that is divisible by itself and 1
You square numbers by multiplying the number by itself.
A number multiplied by itself added to itself equals 30. What are the two possible numbers?
A prime number is only divisible by itself and 1... A squared number is a multiple of itself - and thus is not a prime number !
A prime number is divisible only by 1 and itself. Some examples would include: 2,3,5,7,11,13,53, and 97. This is not an exhaustive list.
a number that can be divided by itself
1,2,3,4,6,8,12, and the number itself 24 :)
Composite numbers are those numbers which are multiples of other numbers other than one and itself. Prime numbers are those numbers wich are not the multiples of other numbers other than one or tne number itself. In case of the number 306,we can say it is a composite number because it is the multiple of 2,3,6 etc which are other than 1 and the number itself that is 306.
A factor of a number is a number that the original number can divide by evenly. A prime number is a number with only 2 factors (1 and itself). From these two pieces of information, it is clear that the numbers with the least amount of factors are prime numbers. Examples of prime numbers include 2, 3, 5 and 7.
