A composite number has more than two factors whereas a prime number has only two factors
No. The number 2 is a prime number. The smallest, positive composite number is 4.
It is 2 × 3 × 5 × 7 × 11 = 2310
4, which is the square of the prime number 2, is the smallest composite number.
I think that it is 4
6, with factors 1, 2, 3 and 6.
Starting from beginning we see that 0 has infinite factors so it is a composite number and 1 is neither prime nor composite. The next number is 2 which has only two factors so it is the smallest Prime number.
How about: 210
A composite number is a number with more than 2 positive integer factors. The smallest such odd number is 9.
Ah, what a lovely question! The smallest composite number is 4. You see, composite numbers are numbers that have more than two factors, and 4 can be divided by 1, 2, and 4. It may be small, but it plays an important role in the world of numbers.
A composite number has more than two factors whereas a prime number has only two factors
A prime number has only two factors, one and the number itself. A composite number has more than two factors. Factors can be either prime or composite.
The smallest prime factors are 2,3,5,7 thus the smallest number would be the product of these will be 210
No. The number 2 is a prime number. The smallest, positive composite number is 4.
A prime number has only two factors which are itself and one but a composite number has more than two factors
All composite numbers have more than 2 factors whereas prime numbers have only 2 factors
It is 2 × 3 × 5 × 7 × 11 = 2310
