Composite numbers are every number that isn't prime so realistically any number that isn't prime in a problem you have in life is composite. Like say you're making a collage and you have an 16x16 inch page. You have 4 4x6 inch pictures and 2 2x3 inch pictures. You want to make sure you have enough space for them all with out over lapping them so you multiply 16 and 16 to get the total area of the page of 256 inches squared. Then you multiply 4 and six to get 24 then multiply that by 4 and get 96 in squared. Then you do the same thing with the 2x3 inch pictures and get 12 square inches. Add the two picture areas together to get 108 inches. Now you subtract 108 from 256 and get 148. 148 inches is the amount of space you have to fill up with stickers or words or basically what ever you want.

How would you relate composite number to a real world sintuion?
I wouldn't. The national debt is a real world situation and it's a composite number, but its composite-ness has no bearing on the problems it causes.
Which number is composite 2 3 or 4?
The composite number out of this group of numbers would be 4.
Is there an infinite amount of prime and composite numbers?
Yes, there is an infinite amount of prime numbers. This has been proven by the ancient Greek mathematician Euclid. As for composite numbers, since there are infinitely many natural numbers, there must also be an infinite amount of composite numbers, as they are all the natural numbers that are not prime.
What are prime digits and composite digits?
It would probably refer to a digit that is a prime number, or a composite number. Note that mathematicians normally talk about prime and composite NUMBERS, not individual digits.
What 8 numbers between 31 and 41 compisit?
the numbers between 31 and 41 are 31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40, and 41. Composite means that there are two or more factors. The composite numbers here would be: 31, 37, and 41. I am a math geek so this has to be correct.
How many numbers are composite between 10 and 82?
A composite number is a number that can be divided in a way other than itself and by 1. Other than 2, all even numbers are composite, so if you include 10 and 82 the answer would be 39 composite numbers. Without 10 and 82, the answer would be 37 composite numbers.
Would prime numbers be more useful than composite numbers?
Yes.
Which number is composite 2 3 or 4?
The composite number out of this group of numbers would be 4.
How would you relate composite number to a real world sintuion?
I wouldn't. The national debt is a real world situation and it's a composite number, but its composite-ness has no bearing on the problems it causes.
What are the composite numbers of32?
I think they are 4 and 8 the prime numbers would be 2,2,2,2,2
Why do you think prime numbers would be more useful for the creation of codes than composite numbers?
Actually it is composite numbers that are used - products of two very large primes.
Is there an infinite amount of prime and composite numbers?
Yes, there is an infinite amount of prime numbers. This has been proven by the ancient Greek mathematician Euclid. As for composite numbers, since there are infinitely many natural numbers, there must also be an infinite amount of composite numbers, as they are all the natural numbers that are not prime.
What is the ratio of composite numbers to prime numbers in the following ser of numbers 6 3 4 12 18 17?
The ratio of composite numbers 6,3,4,12,18 and 17 to prime numbers would be 9,15,21 and 25. This is taught in math.
What type of whole number would you most prevalent in the first 100 whole numbers?
composite whole numbers
Is a composite number like a even number?
Well a composite number is something that numbers can go into so in that case yes i would say.
Is o a prime or composite number?
0 is neither a prime or a composite number. It can not be divided by any number, so it would be difficult to classify it as prime or composite. 0 and 1 are the only numbers that are not prime and are not composite.
What is the opposite of a prime number?
The 'opposite' status of a number that is not prime is a composite number.Except for 0 and 1, all numbers that are not prime (i.e. they are multiples of other numbers) are called composite numbers.The opposite of a prime number would be a number that is not prime. Almost all numbers that are not prime are composite numbers. A prime number is a number that has exactly two factors. A composite number has more than two factors. However, composite numbers do not include all numbers that are not prime. The number 1 has only one factor, so it is neither prime nor composite - it is unity.
