What numbers are composite?

Answer 1

Composite numbers can be expressed as multiples of other numbers. They are any numbers that are not 1 or a Prime number.

Composite numbers are those that are not prime, meaning that they can be factored as a product of smaller prime numbers. As examples, 6, 10, and 15 are composite numbers because they can be factored into 2x3, 2x5, and 3x5.

2, 3, and 5 are prime numbers and their only factors are themselves and 1.

A composite number is a positive integer that has at least one positive divisor other than one or the number itself. In other words, a composite number is any integer greater than one that is not a prime number.
A composite number is a whole number with more than two factors.
Only two factors, and Prime numbers are more than two.

Answer 2

Number one and zero are special. So we don't use them in either composite or prime. But these are the composite numbers:

4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18, 20, 21, 22, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 30, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 38, 39, 40, 42, 44, 45, 46, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 60, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 68, 69, 70, 72, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 80, 81, 82, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 98, 99 and 100

Hope this helps :)

Answer 3

A composite number is a natural number (a positive integer) which can be separated into smaller integer factors. For example, the following are integers:

4 = 2 x 2

6 = 2 x 3

15 = 3 x 5

16 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2

etc.

A number greater than one that can NOT be split into smaller integer factors is a prime number. The following numbers are the first prime numbers:

2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, ...

Answer 4

Composite numbers are numbers that are divisible by numbers that are not 1 or itself. For example 8 is a composite number because not only is it divisible by 1 and itself, (8) it is also divisible by 2 and 4. On the other hand, 7 is not divisible by anything other than 1 and itself (7) so it isn't composite.

Answer 5

Numbers that have more than two factors are composite numbers.

Answer 6

Composite numbers are positive integers that have more than two factors.

Answer 7

Composite numbers are integers that have more than two factors.

Answer 8

A composite number is one that is the product of two or more prime numbers.
