Are there any number that are neither prime nor composite?
Yes. All prime numbers and composite numbers are positive integers, or whole counting numbers. That leaves infinitely many numbers that are neither prime nor composite. If you intended to narrow the scope of your question to the whole counting numbers or to the positive integers, then there are NO such numbers that are neither. A counting number, however large, will be either prime or composite.
What are the simalarities between prime and composite number?
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.
Does the prime factorization of any composite number include prime and composite numbers?
Prime factorization never includes a composite number. All numbers in prime factorization must be prime numbers.
Any counting number grater then 1 witch is not prime is what kind number?
All positive whole numbers over 1 can be classified either as prime or composite numbers. Those which are not prime are composite numbers, that is, numbers which are composed of several different factors.
Which is true about 143 It is a prime number It is a composite number It is a whole number that is neither prime nor composite or It is not a whole number?
We know that 143 is a whole number and that it has to be either prime or composite because all whole numbers other than 0 and 1 are one or the other. So, in order to determine if it is prime or composite, we need to know if any numbers besides 1 and 143 are factors. 1, 11, 13, and 143 are factors so 143 is a composite number.
