What makes prime numbers and composite numbers related?

Prime numbers are related with composite numbers as they are both natural numbers and real numbers and also every composite number is a product of prime numbers due to which they are related with each other.For example 24=[2] [2] [3] [2].Here 24 is a composite number,real number and natural number and 2,2,3,2 are prime numbers and also they are real and natural numbers


Why do people look for large prime numbers?

Some think it is an interesting challenge. Prime numbers of up to a few hundred digits have real practical applications, in cryptography. However, the largest prime numbers found are much, much greater than that.Some think it is an interesting challenge.

What real-life situations are prime numbers used?

Large prime numbers are used in encryption. The larger the primes, the better the encryption. Typically each of two people will provide a prime; you need to know both prime numbers to decrypt. A program is used to calculate the values to be sent. The message is sent along with the product of the primes (sender's prime * receiver's prime). Since the number will be large it is difficult to crack (again, larger the better). To decrypt you have to know both prime numbers. Knowing one and the product makes it easy (just divide). If you only have the product, decrypting can be very time-consuming as you are forced to find the factors of the number


What are the subsets of a real numbers?

The set of real numbers is infinitely large, therefore it has an infinite amount of subsets. For example, {1}, {.2, 4, 800}, and {-32323, 3.14159, 32/3, 6,000,000} are all subsets of the real numbers. There are a few, important, and well studied namedsubsets of the real numbers. These include, but aren't limited to, the set of all prime numbers, square numbers, positive numbers, negative numbers, natural numbers, even numbers, odd numbers, integers, rational numbers, and irrational numbers. For more information on these, and other, specific subsets of the real numbers, follow the link below.
