However by looking at a number it is not easy to figure out whether a number is prime or composite.

Every even number excpet 2 is a composite number so, any number having last digit as 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8 is a composite number. This is one of the ways to figure out.

However for the odd numbers it becomes diificult to figure out.

For a quicker analysis there are divisiblity rules. These are shorthand ways to find whether a number is divisble by another without performing actual division.

How do you figure out a composite number?

A number can be factored to determine whether it is prime or composite. A prime number has exactly 2 factors, 1 and the number itself. A composite number has more than two factors.


How do you prove that a number is a composite?

To prove whether a number is composite, factor it. A number having any factor besides 1 and itself is composite.

In geometry what is a composite?

It is a geometric figure made from 2 or more other geometric figures, Similar to a composite number is one made of 2 or more primes. Make a "house" with a square and a triangle on top. This is a composite figure.


Can you tell a prime or composite number by seeing if its odd or even?

You cannot. If a number is even - other than 2 - then it is a composite number. However, if it is odd, it is not easily possible to tell whether it is prime or composite.

35 is a composite number because it has more than two factors


How can your knowledge of divisibility rules help you to determine whether a number is prime or composite?

If a number is divisible by anything other than itself and 1, it's composite.
