Because it is even and every even number is composite, except for 2.
It is a composite number.
composite
'98' is a COMPOUND Number. Compound numbers are the product of the multiplication of two( or more) smaller numbers. 2 x 49 = 98 ( So '98' is a compound number) NB Any even number , except '2' , is a compound number. Even numbers are those that end in 0,2,4,6,8 NNB Prime numbers always, except '2' itself, end in an odd number, except '5'. So e.g. 1,000,002 is Compound, it ends in '2' . It is NOT prime. 1,000,000,015 is a compound number, because it ends in '5'. The odd number exception.
a composite number
The number 98 is a composite number because it can be divided into 2 equally and the answer would be 49. Hoped this helped.
Yes
A composite number is defined as a number that can be divided by more than 1 and itself. 98 is composite because it can also be divided by 1, 98, as well as 2, 7, 14 and 49.
A number which has more than two factors is called composite number. 98 is a composite number because it has more than two factors. Factors of 98: 1, 2, 7, 14, 49 and 98. In order to prove that a number is composite try to find a factor other than 1 and the number itself: Since 98 is an even number so it is divisible by 2, so 2 is one of the factors of 98. For now we know three factors of 98: 1, 2 and 98. So, 98 is a composite number since we have found more than two factors.
It is a composite number because it has more than 2 factors
Composite, it is divisible by 2,7,14, and 49
No, 98 is divisible by 2; therefore, it is a composite number.
The prime factorisation of 98 is 2*7squared
