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.
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.
You know 120 is a composite number because it is an even number that is greater than 2.
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.
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.
No it is a composite number if you want to 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.
We know that 28 is a composite number because:It is an even numberIt is divisible by more than 2 numbers
No, if a number has even one additional factor besides itself and the number one, then you automatically know it's composite.
Composite numbers have more than two factors. Once you find a third factor, you know your number is composite.
