A prime number is a natural number that has exactly two distinct natural number divisors: 1 and itself. A composite number is a positive integer which has a positive divisor other than one or itself.
Yes, by definition a composite number is a number that is divisible by another whole number besides one and itself. The only other whole number that nine is divisible by is three. Hope it helped!
If you mean the product, that's by definition. A composite number has smaller factors. If you multiply two positive integers, none of which is 1, together, then it follows that the product has smaller factors - namely, the numbers you multiplied together.
14 is a composite number. Any number that's not a prime number is a composite number. A prime number is a number that has no factors except ' 1 ' and itself. The factors of 14 are 1, 2, 7, and 14. In addition to ' 1 ' and itself, 14 has two more factors. Therefore, by definition, 14 is not a prime number, and is a composite number.
the number 1 is neither. it is a special number. prime, nor composite.
A prime number has two factors, a composite number has more than two.
A composite number is a positive integer that has a positive divisor other than one or itself. In other words a composite number is any positive integer greater than one that is not a prime number.
1 is neither a prime nor a composite number because it has only one factor (itself (1)). The definition of a prime number is a number that has the factor of one and itself, so one is not prime. The definition of a composite number is a number that has more than 2 factors, so one is not composite. One is a special number.
No. The definition of a composite number is a natural number that isn't prime (or 1). The definition of a prime number is one with only 2 factors (itself and 1).
You cannot. By definition, a composite number is not prime and you cannot make it prime.
The definition of a composite number is...A positive number which can be divided by another positive number other than one or itself.99 = Positive99/3 = 33Therefore it is composite.
Prime numbers have rwo facrors
The breaking down of a composite number into its prime number factors.
Not at all. The definition of a composite number is one that has more than two factors - the exact opposite of a prime.
The number 39 is a composite number. 39 = 3 x 13. Because 39 can be written as a product of primes (3 and 13), it is, by definition composite.
Every positive integer greater than 1 is either prime or composite.
A prime number is a natural number that has exactly two distinct natural number divisors: 1 and itself. A composite number is a positive integer which has a positive divisor other than one or itself.
