No. 2 divides 588. You can immediately see this because the number in the ones place, 8, is divisible by 2.
There is not such a thing as a composite prime number. A prime number has exactly two factors. A composite number has more than two factors.
Well, the factors of a prime number is that they only have two factors.
Prime numbers have as factors the number 1 and their own number. Example: 37 is a prime number because its only factors are "1" and "37". If the prime number had further factors, it would no longer be prime.
Whether a number is a prime number or not is determined by its factors. It is a prime number if its only factors are 1 and itself.
No itβs not prime it has factors. It most definitely is a composite!
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. 588 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, 588 is a composite number.588 is a composte number becausr it has more than 2 factors
Use a factor tree. 588 Divide by two. 294,2 Divide by two. 147,2,2 Divide by three. 49,3,2,2 Divide by seven. 7,7,3,2,2 Stop. All the factors are prime. 2 x 2 x 3 x 7 x 7 = 588
No. 2 divides 588. You can immediately see this because the number in the ones place, 8, is divisible by 2.
As an even number greater than 2, 588 is divisble by 2 and therefore composite.
588 = 2 * 2 * 3 * 7 * 7
Any multiple of 588
It's an even number so it MUST be composite!
There is not such a thing as a composite prime number. A prime number has exactly two factors. A composite number has more than two factors.
All numbers have factors. Some factors are prime numbers. These are known as prime factors. The set of prime factors is a subset of the set of factors for any given number.
Well, the factors of a prime number is that they only have two factors.
That is a list of the proper divisors of 588. Most definitions of proper factors do not include the number 1.
