What number is not a prime factor of 100?
what number is not a prime factor
Can a composite number have composite and prime factors?
A composite number has more than two factors. A prime number has exactly two factors. A prime factor is a factor that is a prime number. All numbers can be written as a prime number or the product of prime factors. So, all composite numbers have prime factors. Here are examples: 10 = 2 x 5 11 = 11 12 = 2 x 2 x 3 13 = 13 14 = 2 x 7 15 = 3 x 5 16 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 Any number has itself as a factor, so all composite numbers have at least one composite factor - themselves. Some composite numbers have other composite numbers as factors, as well. If the composite number has only two (not necessarily distinct) prime factors, it will not have any other composite numbers as factors other than itself. Here are examples: 20 has factors 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, and 20, of which 4, 10, and 20 are composite numbers. 21 has factors 1, 3, 7, and 21, of which only 21 is a composite number. 22 had factors 1, 2, 11, and 22, of which only 22 is a composite number. 24 has factors 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24, of which 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24 are composite numbers. A factor string of a composite number can be a combination of prime and composite factors that multiplied together equal the number. The prime factorization is a factor string with only the prime numbers. Here are examples: 24 has a factor string of 4 x 6, both of which are composite numbers, or 3 x 8, of which one is a composite number and one is a prime number, or 2 x 3 x 4, of which one is a composite number and two are prime numbers, or 2 x 2 x 2 x 3, which is the prime factorization. 20 has a factor string of 4 x 5, of which one is a composite number and one is a prime number, or 2 x 2 x 5, which is the prime factorization.
Is 20 a prime or composite or neither?
It is composite.
Is the sum of two composite numbers also composite?
Not always as for example 20+9 = 29 which is a prime number
A card is drawn from a deck of cards 1 to 20 the card is not replaced and another is drawn what is the probability that a prime number is drawn and then composite number?
There are 8 prime numbers (2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19) between 1 and 20, the rest are comp. P(prime then comp) = (8/20) * (11/20) = .22 There is a 22% chance you will draw a prime number followed by a composite number. ...maybe...
