The product of two composite numbers is between 11 and 17.
12 = 2 x 2 x 3, so it cannot be the product of two composite numbers, because there are only three prime factors.
13 is prime.
14 = 2 x 7, so it cannot be the number.
15 = 3 x 5, so it cannot be the number.
16 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2, so it is the product of two composite numbers, 4 x 4.
16 is the only number that fits. Its prime factors are 2, 2, 2, and 2.
The product of two prime numbers will be composite.
The product of two prime numbers is always a composite number, and it never is a prime number.
prime numbers, yes
No, because a prime number that has only two factors, 1(which is niether prime nor composite) and itself(prime).
The difference between prime and composite numbers is simple. Prime numbers have only two factors, 1 and itself. Composite numbers are divisible by more than two numbers
The product of two prime numbers will be composite.
Prime factorization is writing a composite number as a product of prime numbers.
Yes. Composite numbers can be written as the product of prime factors.
No not always because composite numbers can be the product of 2 or more prime factors
the prime factorization
A composite number.
A composite number is the product of two or more prime numbers.
If the number is a product of two composite numbers, it must be 16, which is the product of 4 and 4. The prime factors of 16 are 2, 2, 2, and 2. The smallest composite number is 4, so the smallest possible product of two composite numbers is 4 x 4 = 16.
composite
Showing a composite number as a product of prime numbers is called prime factorization.
The product of two prime numbers is always a composite number, and it never is a prime number.
A composite number can be expressed as the product of two or more prime numbers. For example, 30 (composite) is 2 x 3 x 5 [2, 3 and 5 are prime] A prime number cannot be expressed as the product of other numbers. By convention the numbers zero and 1 are neither prime nor composite.
