They are both whole numbers or integers without any decimals but prime numbers have only two factors whereas composite numbers have more than two factors.
Any number that has more than two factors in it is a composite number whereas a prime number has only two factors in it which are itself and one.
101 is a prime number; it has no composite factors.
Prime numbers and composite numbers are positive integers. A prime number is one that can only be divided, without remainder, by 1 or by the number itself. Any other positive integer is a composite number.
Zero and one are neither composite nor prime.
X is a variable which can represent any number, both prime and composite. Prime numbers are those whose only factors are themselves and 1. Composite numbers have other factors besides these.
They are both whole numbers or integers without any decimals but prime numbers have only two factors whereas composite numbers have more than two factors.
Yes, composite numbers have both prime and composite factors.
Any number that has more than two factors is a composite number
The factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12. The factors 4 and 6 are composite numbers.
Any number that has more than two factors in it is a composite number whereas a prime number has only two factors in it which are itself and one.
There are not any numbers that are both prime and composite. A prime number has exactly two factors. A composite number has more than two factors.
All natural numbers (counting numbers) greater than one are either prime or composite. If divisible by only one and the number itself, it is prime; if divisible by other natural numbers, then is composite. One is the only natural number that is neither prime nor composite.
101 is a prime number; it has no composite factors.
Any number that contains only two factors which are itself and one is a prime number all other numbers that have more than two factors are composite numbers.
Composite numbers have three or more factors.
Prime numbers have two factors. Composite numbers have more than two (but a finite number.)Zero and one don't fit either of these categories.
