Why prime and composite numbers help with math?
You can use prime numbers to factorize numbers, a very useful tool
Is 151 a composite number or prime number?
A prime number has only 2 factors which are 1 and itself. Composite numbers are everything else except 1 and 0. 1 and 0 are neither prime, nor composite. 151 is prime.
How can you use prime factorization to know if two numbers are prime?
A prime number has no factors other than 1 and the number itself. If prime factorization of a number reveals one or more additional prime factors, the number is a composite.
Is 41 prime or composite and explain?
41 is prime because you can only multiply 41 and itself to get 41, wich makes a number prime. You can check if a number is prime by dividing it by the numbers 2 to 9 and if you don't get a whole number from any of the numbers you divided them with, then the number is prime. It's easier if you use a calculator for dividing all the numbers unless you are good at math.
Decide whether each number is prime or composite if the number is composite then put in factored form as a product of prime numbers use exponents when there are two or more identical factors?
Ex. 23 and 24 23 is prime. 24 is composite. 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 = 24 2^3 x 3 = 24
