What is the highest number that cannot be divided by 7 or 3?
There are infinitely many such numbers. For example, 21*n + 1 will not be divisible by 7 or 3 for any n - no matter how large.
Is 6615 divisible by 5?
Yes, 6615 is divisible by 5. Here's a hint, no matter the size of the number, if it ends in 5 or 0, it is divisible by five (5).
How many numbers are there between the squares of 12 and 13?
Infinitely many. There are infinitely many numbers between any two numbers - no matter how close to each other they are.
What fractions are closest to zero?
There are no such fractions. No matter how close a fraction is to zero, there are still infinitely many that are closer.
Is 120 the smallest number that is divisible by 1 2 3 6 9 12 and 36?
No.First off, 120 is not divisible by 9. (The sum of the digits of 120 is "3"; a number is divisible by nine if and only if the sum of its digits is divisible by nine.) For that matter, it's not divisible by 36 either; since 36 is itself divisible by 9, any number which is not divisible by 9 cannot be divisible by 36.The smallest number that's divisible by 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 12 and 36 is "36" (it's also divisible by 4, which you left out).
Unlike Democritus Aristotle did not believe that matter was composed of tiny indivisible?
Aristotle believed that matter was continuous and infinitely divisible, in contrast to Democritus who proposed that matter was composed of indivisible particles called atoms. Aristotle's view prevailed until the development of modern atomic theory in the 19th century.
Who said matter is not infinitely divisible?
The Greek philosopher Democritus (460-370 B.C) believed atoms could not be created, destroyed, or further divided.
Was democritus correct about matter or Aristotle and why?
Democritus was correct in proposing that matter is composed of indivisible particles called atoms. Aristotle, on the other hand, believed that matter is infinitely divisible and that everything is made up of a combination of the four elements. Modern atomic theory supports Democritus' view that matter is made up of discrete atoms.
What did democritus and aristole think if matter is in separate bits or is it continuous?
Democritus proposed that matter is made up of tiny indivisible particles called atoms, which he believed to be separate and distinct from each other. Aristotle, on the other hand, argued that matter is continuous and infinitely divisible, without any fundamental smallest building blocks like atoms.
Did Aristotle think atoms are indivisible?
No, Aristotle did not believe in the existence of atoms. He believed that all matter was continuous and infinitely divisible.
How did aristotle's view of matter differ from those of Democritus and Leucippus?
Aristotle saw matter as continuous and infinitely divisible, while Democritus and Leucippus believed that matter was composed of indivisible particles called atoms. Aristotle's theory focused on the idea of substances possessing specific qualities, while Democritus and Leucippus emphasized the concept of atoms moving in empty space.
Who originally proposed the concept that matter was composed of tiny particles?
I believe it is Democritus
Why did Democritus call the smallest piece of matter an atomos?
Democritus called the smallest piece of matter "atomos" because it means indivisible in Greek. He believed that matter could not be divided infinitely and that substances were made up of tiny, indivisible particles called atoms.
Did Aristotle study atoms?
No, Aristotle did not believe in the existence of atoms. He proposed that matter is continuous and can be subdivided infinitely. His views on the nature of matter differed significantly from the atomic theory later proposed by Democritus.
Who was the first person to use the word atom to describe the fundamental particles of matter?
The ancient Greek philosopher Democritus is credited with being the first person to use the term "atom" to describe the fundamental particles of matter. Democritus proposed that all matter is composed of tiny, indivisible particles called atoms.
Who was the first person to propose the idea that matter was NOT infinitely divisible?
Democrit from Abdera, approx. 2 500 years ago.
Did Aristotle believe matter was made of atoms?
No, Aristotle did not believe matter was made of atoms. He believed in the concept of the four elements - earth, water, air, and fire - as the building blocks of matter. This perspective was later challenged by the atomic theory proposed by Democritus and further developed by modern scientists.
