A prime number is a number that is divisible only by 1 and itself; it has no other factors. A composite number is a number that is divisible by more than 2 numbers. The factors of 14 are 1, 2, 7, and 14. Therefore, 14 is a composite number.
All numbers that are multiples of 2. All numbers that are 2,4,6,8, or end in 2,4,6,8,0.
A prime number is a number that is divisible only by 1 and itself; it has no other factors. A composite number is a number that is divisible by more than 2 numbers. The factors of 116 are 1, 2, 4, 29, 58, and 116. Therefore, 116 is a composite number.no any number that ends in an even number will always be composite because it can always be divided by 2 at least
256 is not prime. 256 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2
First, zero is not applied to the terms prime and composite because the definitions only apply to natural numbers (positive whole numbers, which does not include zero). One is not prime or composite because one is the unit that is used within the definition of prime of composite numbers, and many definitions of prime and composite even exclude one from the definition. If you want to categorize one within a discussion of prime and composite, it is common to simply call one the unit.
