Just multiply the first three prime numbers together.
No. The number 2 is a prime number. The smallest, positive composite number is 4.
A composite number has more than two factors whereas a prime number has only two factors
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
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 is a number with more than 2 positive integer factors. The smallest such odd number is 9.
No. The number 2 is a prime number. The smallest, positive composite number is 4.
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.
It is 2 × 3 × 5 × 7 × 11 = 2310
The smallest prime factors are 2,3,5,7 thus the smallest number would be the product of these will be 210
All composite numbers have more than 2 factors whereas prime numbers have only 2 factors
A prime number has only two factors which are itself and one but a composite number has more than two factors
