Is 72 composite number?
Well, let's see. I'm sure you know how to test a number to decide whether it's composite ... You try to find any other factor besides ' 1 ' and the number itself, and if you find even one more factor, then the number is composite. So let's get together and test 72 : The factors of 72 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, and 72. I guess we did find another factor after all, d'ya reckon ? Actually, we found 10 of them ! So 72 is definitely composite.
