A whole number that has more than two divisors is?
Called a composite number.
What is the opposite word for the prime number?
A composite number is a number that has more divisors than 1 and itself.
How would you describe the difference between a prime number and a composite number?
A prime number has only 2 divisors, 1 and itself. Any number with more than two divisors is a composite number. Composite numbers are made up of primes. Because of that, we can think of primes as the building blocks of composite numbers - just as we think of letters as the building blocks of words. For example, 3 is prime since its only divisors are 1 and 3. Now look at 6; it can be written as 2 x 3 so it has divisors, 1, 2, 3, and 6.A prime number is a positive integer with two factors: one and the number itself.A composite number is a positive integer with more than two factors.
Which are the numbers which are neither prime nor composite and why?
All primes have two positive divisors. There are only two integers that are neither composite or prime and they are 1 and 0. The number 1 has only 1 positive divisor, itself. The number 0 has an infinite number of divisors.
What is the definition of prime 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.
