The composite factors of 48 are 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, and 48.
48 is a composite number. This is because composite numbers are any number that has more than two factors (one and itself). Therefore, since there are many factors of 48 besides one and itself including 2, 3, and 4, that makes it a composite number.
48 has factors other than 1 and itself, so it is not a prime number. It is an even number that is greater than 2, so it also has 2 as a factor. Therefore, it is a composite number. All even numbers greater than 2 are composite numbers.No number that ends in an '8' can be prime; it is at least divisible by 2. Use this kind of thinking to derive the other factors of 48.
The composite numbers between 41 and 50 are: 42, 44, 45, 46, 48, 49, 50.
