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.


Which of the numbers 31 41 51 and 61 is a composite number?

A composite number is a positive integer greater than 1 that has more than two distinct positive divisors. In this case, the number 51 is a composite number because it has divisors other than 1 and itself, such as 3 and 17. Numbers 31, 41, and 61 are all prime numbers, as they only have two distinct positive divisors, 1 and the number itself.

What is the defintion of composite numbers?

Any number having more than two factors or divisors is a composite number. A prime number has exactly two divisors, 1 and the number itself, and 1 is not considered to be a prime nor a composite because it has only 1 proper factor.


Is Every multiple of 5 is a composite number and why?

Not every multiple of 5 is a composite number. A composite number has more than two distinct positive divisors, while a prime number has exactly two. The number 5 itself is a multiple of 5 and is prime, as its only divisors are 1 and 5. Therefore, while many multiples of 5 are composite (like 10, 15, and 20), 5 itself serves as a counterexample.

What is the term for a number with divisors other than one and itself?

...is known as a composite number. The lowest is 4, or 6 if you want two different divisors.


What number is both odd and composite number?

The number 9 is an example of a number that is both odd and composite. An odd number is one that is not divisible by 2, and a composite number is one that has more than two positive divisors. In the case of 9, its divisors are 1, 3, and 9, making it composite as well as odd. Other examples include 15, 21, and 25.


Is 37 prime composite?

37 is a prime number, not a composite. A prime number is defined as having exactly two distinct positive divisors: 1 and itself. In the case of 37, its only divisors are 1 and 37.


27 Prime or Composite?

Composite, for it has four positive integer divisors, 1, 3, 9, 27. To be a prime number, it needs to have only two integer divisors, 1 and itself.


Is 13 and 15 composite number?

No, 13 is a prime number and 15 is a composite number. A composite number is a positive integer that has more than two positive divisors.

Why is two a composite number?

Two is not a composite number; it is a prime number. A composite number is a positive integer greater than 1 that has more than two distinct positive divisors. However, two only has two divisors, which are 1 and 2.
