∙ 11y ago1 is neither a prime or composite number
That is how a composite number is defined! It cannot be prime if it is a product of two integers that are bigger than one.
Because that product would have both of the two numbers as factors, giving it at least a total of 4.
No it is a composite number if you want to know
Composite numbers have more than two factors. Once you find a third factor, you know your number is composite.
1 is neither a prime or composite number
That is how a composite number is defined! It cannot be prime if it is a product of two integers that are bigger than one.
Prime numbers have only two factors: one and themselves. By definition, your product would have more than that: one, the product and at least the two numbers that created the product. It has to be composite.
You know 120 is a composite number because it is an even number that is greater than 2.
Because that product would have both of the two numbers as factors, giving it at least a total of 4.
4,564,282 is a composite number because you could divide by two. Another hint that it's composite is that it ends in a two. All even numbers greater than 2 are composite.
A number is composite if it has more than two factors. Once you find a third, you know.
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.
No it is a composite number if you want to know
No, if a number has even one additional factor besides itself and the number one, then you automatically know it's composite.
We know that 28 is a composite number because:It is an even numberIt is divisible by more than 2 numbers
Composite numbers have more than two factors. Once you find a third factor, you know your number is composite.
