Whole numbers ending in 8 are even numbers. All even numbers except for 2 are composite numbers.

Why is 135 a composite number?

If 135 was a prime number its only factors would be 1 and 135, but by ending in a 5 that means 5 is a factor which means it cant be a prime number, so its factors are atleast (may be more) 1,5,27,135 which makes it composite.


What is the prime factor of 293?

293 is a prime number, therefore the prime factorization of it would be 293, you cant do 293x1 because 1 is NOT a prime number therefore you cant do it because it wouldn't b a prime factorization that is your answer

What is a prime number and how do to find them?

To find a prime number. #1. If an even number (ending in 0,2,4,6,8,) it is NOT a prime number. It is a composite with a factor of '2' #2. An ODD Number ending in '5' is NOT a prime number., It is a composite of '5' #3. If the digits of an ODD number sum to '9' , then it is NOT a prime number, It is a composite of '9' #4. To test for a prime number, divide by '3' & '7' , if there is a remainder to either division it is a prime number. The answer MUST NOT be a whole number. Then it is possible prime number. e.g. 839 #1. NOt EVEN #2 . Does NOT end in '5' #3. The digits sum to 8+3+9 = 20 (Does not divide by ;9;) #4. 839/3 = 279 remainder '2' or 839/7 = 119 remainder '6' So 839 is a prime number.


What is the Factor tree for 90?

a factor is actually like a tree with branches.just divide 90 by prime whole numbers until you get all prime numbers.first divide 90 by 290/2 = 45 [2 is a prime whole number]45/5 = 9 [5 is a prime whole number]9/3 = 3 [3 is a prime whole number]since your last number is 3 you cant divide anymore to get a smaller prime whole number.so now use the numbers you have... 90,45,9,2,3,3, and 5 to make your factor tree.start with 90 at top. make two branches with 45 and 2 on the ends. make two more branches from 45 with 9 and 2 on the ends. make two more branches from the 9 with a 3 and 3 on the ends. all of the ends of your branches now have prime whole numbers and you are finish!9045,215,3,25,3,3,2

2 is even. 2 is prime. Any other even number has 2 as a factor, so it has too many factors to be prime.
