Is 124 prime or composite number?

The same as every other even numbers greater than 2, 124 is a composite number.


Is 29 a prime number composite?

No, because prime and a composite number are the opposite and cannot be the same.


Is a composite number the same as a prime number?

No. A prime number has exactly two factors: 1 and itself. A composite number has more than two factors.


Can 2 numbers have the same prime factorization?

Only if they're the same number. Every composite number has a unique prime factorization.


Why is 1 or 0 not composite or prime?

1 is not prime or composite because first, prime numbers are divisible by 1 and itself so 1 is itself and that is only one number. It is not composite because it only has one factor, itself. 0 is not prime or composite because it has an infinite number of divisors because any whole number that isn't 0 divides 0. It can't be written as two numbers so it can't be prime and for that same reason it can't even be composite.


Is the product of a prime number the same as the prime factorization?

A prime factorization is the same as expressing a composite number as the product of its prime factors. Prime numbers don't have factorizations; they're already prime.


Are all odd numbers is prime numbers?

Not all prime numbers are odd. There is one prime number that is even: 2. A prime number is a number with two and only two factors: 1 (also known as unity) and itself. A composite number is a number with more than two factors. All even numbers are divisible by 2. Thus, all even numbers have 2 as a factor, which means that all even numbers greater than 2 have more than two factors, so they cannot be prime numbers.


What is the same between prime and composite numbers?

A prime number has only 2 factors which are 1 and itself. Composite numbers are everything else, except 1 and 0. 1 and 0 are neither prime, nor composite. So 'what is the same', is that both prime and composite numbers have 1 as a factor, and itself as a factor.


How do you check if a large number is prime or a composite number?

You divide the number by 2. If the number is able to divide WITHOUT a remainder, then it is a prime number. If you divide a number by 1, you will get the same number. That is not a prime number.


What is a prime number times a prime number?

A prime number times a prime number is a composite number. Since prime numbers, except for 2, are odd numbers, a prime number times a prime number is usually an odd number. It will only be an even number if one of the prime numbers is 2. A prime number times a prime number will be a number with four factors unless both prime numbers are the same, in which case it will be a square number with only three factors.


Can a prime and composite number be the same?

No, they can not be both. A prime number has only 2 factors which are 1 and itself. Composite numbers are everything else except 1, 2, and 0. 1, 2, and 0 have a different name.


Are prime numbers and composite numbers the same?

No --primes and composites are not the same. In fact they are mutually exclusive concepts. A prime number is a number other than one that can only be divided by itself and one. Examples are 2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19. (There are infinitely many more) A composite is a number with a divisor other than itself and one. Examples are 4 ( 2 is a divisor), 6 ( 3 and 2 are divisors),15 ( 3 and 5 are divisors). Every (positive whole) number is either prime or composite, One is special- neither prime nor composite. Prime - Divided only by 1 and itself. Composite - can be divided by a number other than one and itself. Bam bam simple math.
