What is the set of whole numbers less than 0?
the set of whole numbers less than 0
What numbers are not prime or composite?
A prime number has only 2 factors which are 1 and itself. Composite numbers are everything else except 1 and 0. 1 and 0 are neither prime, nor composite.
How many prime numbers less than 10000 have digits adding to 2?
There is only one prime number which is even and that is 2 and prime number rule applies for only positive numbers. so we have 2000 and u can arrange 2000 in 4! ways but digit there are 3 '0's so the answer is 4!/3! and there 4 such numbers less than 10000 which ad upto 2.
Ratio of square numbers to numbers with 4 factors?
As N approaches infinity the ratio of squares less than N to numbers with 4 factors less than N approaches 0. This means that in the customary way of defining it, the ratio you're interested in is 0 (although that should be taken with a grain of salt - it certainly doesn't mean that there are 0 square numbers). The number of squares less than N is approximately √N. Rather than calculating the ratio we're interested in, we're going to calculate a calculate a ratio guaranteed to be greater: the ratio of squares to numbers that are twice a prime number (which are some, but not all, of the numbers with 4 factors). There are approximately N/ln N prime numbers less than N, by the prime number theorem. So there are N/(2 ln N/2) prime numbers less than N/2, which can be doubled to get a number less than N that's twice a prime number. The ratio is therefore √N(2 ln N/2)/N, which is O(ln N/√N). √N grows much faster than ln N, and in the limit this ratio will get close to zero. So the ratio we're actually interested in, which is even less than this ratio, will also approach zero.
Is 88 a composite number or prime number?
88 is a composite number because it is an even number. All numbers greater than 8 and less than 100 are composites if they are even numbers, if they are multiples of 3 or 7, or if they end in 5 or 0.
