Why is 0 not a prime or composite?
Because 0 has EVERY number as a factor(0*X). A prime number has only 2 factors which are 1 and itself. Composite numbers are everything else except 1 and 0. 1 and 0 are neither prime, nor composite.
Are 0 and 1 prime numbers?
No, neither are primes. 1 has only 1 factor (not two, and therefore isn't prime), while 0 has an infinite amount (and so definitely isn't prime).
Is 3 a factor of 0?
No. It is a prime number, so its only factors are 1 and 3.
Is 6 a prime factor of 132?
It is a factor of 132, not a prime factor.
Why is 1 and 0 nor prime or composite?
A prime number has two positive integer factors, itself and 1. The number 0 has no positive integer factors, and is therefore not prime. The number 1 has just a single positive integer factor, and once again, is not prime.
Is 4 a prime factor of the composite number 36?
4 is a factor of 36, but it is not a prime number.
Do all numbers have at least one prime factor?
All whole numbers except for -1, 0 and 1 have at least one prime factor.
What factor of the number 144 is neither prime nor composite?
One.One.
Why is 0 not a prime or composite?
Because 0 has EVERY number as a factor(0*X). A prime number has only 2 factors which are 1 and itself. Composite numbers are everything else except 1 and 0. 1 and 0 are neither prime, nor composite.
Why isn't 1 a prime factor?
1 is neither a prime, nor a composite number. A prime number has only 2 factors which are 1 and itself. Composite numbers are everything else except 1 and 0. 1 and 0 are neither prime, nor composite.
Are 0 and 1 prime numbers?
No, neither are primes. 1 has only 1 factor (not two, and therefore isn't prime), while 0 has an infinite amount (and so definitely isn't prime).
How can 0 be neither prime or composite numbers?
0 has every number as a factor. A prime number has only 2 factors which are 1 and itself. Composite numbers are everything else except 1 and 0. 1 and 0 are neither prime, nor composite.
What is the same between prime and composite numbers?
A prime number has only 2 factors which are 1 and itself. Composite numbers are everything else, except 1 and 0. 1 and 0 are neither prime, nor composite. So 'what is the same', is that both prime and composite numbers have 1 as a factor, and itself as a factor.
What type of number has a factor that is prime?
Any integer except 0, 1 and -1.
what is the gcf of 32,48 and 80?
Number of times each prime factor appears in the factorization of : Prime Factor, Number 32, Number 48, Number 80, G.C.F (min). 2, 5, 4, 4, 4. 3, 0, 1, 0, 0.
Why are the numbers 0 and 1 neither prime nor composite?
0 has no factors and 1 only has 1 factor which is 1.
Why is zero neither prime nor composite?
0 has every number as a factor. A prime number has only 2 factors which are 1 and itself. Composite numbers are everything else except 1 and 0. 1 and 0 are neither prime, nor composite.
