A Prime number is a number with two and only two factors: 1 (also known as unity) and itself. A composite number is a number with more than two factors; in other words, it has at least one factor besides 1 and itself. 56 has factors other than 1 and itself, so it is not a prime number. For example, it is divisible by 2 because it is an even number. Therefore, 56 is a composite number.
56 is composite: it is divisible by 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 28, and 56
56 is an even number greater than 2. It is a composite number (has factors besides 1 and itself).
56 is a composite number because it has factors other than 1 and 56: 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 28, 56. All even numbers greater than 2 are composite numbers.
it is a composite. Can be divided by 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 28
If a number can be divided evenly by anything other than '1' and itself, then it's composite.56 can be divided evenly by 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 28, and 56. I guess it's composite.
The number is not COMPOSITE. Instead, it is a prime number.
Composite (the only even number that is prime is2).
It is 1 that is neither a prime or a composite number The number 1 is neither prime nor composite.
56 is composite.
56 is composite.
56 is composite.
The prime factors of 56 are 2 and 7.
56 is 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.
composite
A composite number cannot be made into a prime number. The prime factorization of 56 is 2x2x2x7 or 23x7.
No, 56 is not a prime number. It is a composite number. A prime number can only be divided by 1 and itself. 56 can also be divided by 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, and 28.NO. 56 is not a prime number.56 is a composite number because it is even so definitely it has other factors aside from 1 and itself which is 2.
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. 56 is composite.
56 + 17 = 73 The only factors of 73 are 1 and itself. It is a prime number, not a composite number.
Composite. All whole numbers ending in six are composite.
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. 56 is composite.
