How can you use an array of counters to identify whether a number of counters is prime or composite?
If you can arrange the counters in the shape of a rectangle with at least two in each row and each column then the number is composite. The numbers of row and the numbers of columns are factors of the given number. If the only rectangle you can make is the "degenerate" one, with only one row or only one column, then the number is prime.
What are the different ways to arrange 100 chairs using the factors of 100?
1 row of 100 chairs. 2 rows of 50 chairs. 4 rows of 25 chairs. 5 rows of 20 chairs. 10 rows of 10 chairs. 20 rows of 5 chairs. 25 rows of 4 chairs. 50 rows of 2 chairs. 100 rows of 1 chair. Or you could put them all in one big circle.
Sql select to return one value?
It depends on the DBMS MSSQL: SELECT TOP 1 column FROM table MySQL: SELECT column FROM table LIMIT 0,1 (start index, number of rows to get)
Are all numbers with a 0 in the ones place a composite numbers?
Yes. All numbers with 0 in the one's column are composite, having at least the factors of 1, 2, 5, and itself. The number 0 is also composite, having all numbers as factors.
How do you decide which of two numbers is greater when both numbers are positive?
If x - y > 0, then x is greater than y.The greater positive number is the one further from zero.Which number is greater can be worked out on a digit by digit basis:To compare numbers starting with the highest place value column compare the digits, moving right a place value column until either all digits have been considered or one digit is higher than the other - the number with the higher digit is the greater number. (If a place value column is empty, its digit value is 0).
