The number 1 is neither prime nor composite.
A prime number has only 2 factors which are 1 and itself. Composite numbers are everything else except 1 and 0. 1 and 0 are neither prime, nor composite. -2 is composite.
A composite number is defined as a "positive integer with a positive divisor other than one and itself". So therefore, while negative numbers can have factors in the same way as positive numbers, none is considered prime.
The product of two prime numbers will be composite.
Composite numbers have more than two factors. So, the numbers which have two or less than two factors are not composite numbers. Numbers which have exactly two factors are prime numbers. 1 is an exceptional case because it is neither prime nor composite since it has only one factor which is 1.
No. Prime numbers cannot be composite and composite numbers cannot be prime!
The number 1 is neither prime nor composite.
1 is special 2 prime 3 prime 4 composite 5 prime 6 composite 7 prime 8 composite 9 composite 10 composite 11 prime 12 composite ext.
No, prime factorizations consist entirely of prime numbers.
A prime number has only 2 factors which are 1 and itself. Composite numbers are everything else except 1 and 0. 1 and 0 are neither prime, nor composite. -2 is composite.
A composite number is defined as a "positive integer with a positive divisor other than one and itself". So therefore, while negative numbers can have factors in the same way as positive numbers, none is considered prime.
The product of two prime numbers will be composite.
Prime numbers can not composite as - Prime number has only 2 factors whereas composite have more than 2
Numbers other than prime prime numbers are composite numbers. Only whole numbers should be considered for prime & composite numbers. However, '1' is an exceptional case because it is neither prime nor composite.
Prime factorization never includes a composite number. All numbers in prime factorization must be prime numbers.
there are more composite numbers the prime becuz more things can be divided into
Prime numbers have two factors, composite numbers have more than two.
