composite
Ex. 23 and 24 23 is prime. 24 is composite. 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 = 24 2^3 x 3 = 24
As a product of its prime factors: 5*5*7 = 175
All composite numbers can be expressed as unique products of prime numbers. This is known as a prime factorization.
3*5*11
If a number cannot be factored it is a prime number.
24 is composite because it can factored or split up as 24 = 3 * 8 for example. Prime numbers, such as 23, can not be split into factors.
No. It can be factored as 13*47.
When a number can only be factored by 1 and itself or cannot be factored at all it is considered prime.
composite
Yes.

All composite numbers can be expressed as unique products of prime numbers. This is known as a prime factorization.
3*5*11
Yes. Any composite number can be expressed as a product of prime factors.
Because any number with any proper factors is by definition not prime.
