By definition numbers are:
- prime if they have only 2 distinct factors (namely 1 and the number itself);
- composite if they have 3 or more distinct factors
The important thing to note is the word distinct. The number 1 has only 1 distinct factor, namely 1; thus it is neither a prime (the first Prime number is 2) nor composite.

Is 2 or 8 prime numbers?
A prime number is a number thats only factors are 1 and itself. So find the factors of 2. They are 1, and 2. So 2 is prime. A composite number is a number that has more than a pair of factors. So find the factors of 8. They are 1, and 8. They are 2, and 4. 8 has more than 1 pair of factors. So it is composite

Are 21 28 15 17 and 28 prime numbers?
theres only one even prime number, thats 2 prime numbers can only be divided by themselves, and 1 21, divisible by 3 or 7, so no 28 even number other than 2, so no 15, divisible by 3 or 5, so no 17 divisible only by itself and 1, so yes 28, even number, other than 2, so no

How do you use factor tree method?
You can use Factor tRee method by example. 24 / / 3 x 8 / / / 3 x 2 x 4 / / / / 3 x 2 x 2 x 2 24 3x8=24 3x2x4=24 Explanation: 24 can be divided by 3 and 8 Since 8 is a composite number we need to continue until the last numbers are all prime Numbers there is a prime number in 3x8 then just bring it down with the factors of 8. Remember 1: If there is a composite number divide it until it becomes into a prime number. Remember 2: If there is a prime number then you have a composite number and in remember no. 1 I said that divide so that it could become a composite number what you will do with your prime number is that just bring it down along with the divided or factors of 8. Thats All Thank You hope I helped you! ^_^ -A

What is the (GCF) to the number of 176 and 1242?
GCF = 2 If your familiar to continuous divison, listing, or prime factorization then this is perfect If you prefer using continuous division, you must think of a number thats divisible by both numbers, in this case, 176 and 1242 As you can see 176 and 1242 are even so you can use 2 or if theres any other number, you can use that. Then use that number as a divisor and you will repeat the process until theres a composite number Please tell me if i got anything incorrect
