Larger semiprime numbers are often mistaken for prime if their other factor(s) are not obvious. 40477, for instance, might appear prime at first.

What are related prime numbers?

You might be thinking of relatively prime numbers. Two numbers are considered relatively prime if their GCF is 1. 4 and 9 are relatively prime.


Why would 51 and 91 be mistaken for prime numbers?

A person unfamiliar with prime numbers could mistake 51, 91, or any other composite number for a prime number if the person did not factor the number to make sure it had no other factors then 1 and itself.


Who is the inventor of prime numbers?

Mathematics, including prime numbers, is discovered, not invented.Systems and methods we use are invented, but concepts of relationships between objects governed by logic, such as the prime numbers are discovered and named. As such, a more appropriate question might be "Who discovered prime numbers?"Many have discovered prime numbers; the first is unknown to mankind.


How many composite numbers are less than 100?

Search the Internet for a list of prime numbers - the Wikipedia article on prime numbers might list a few. All numbers between 2-100 that are not prime, are composite. (The number is not counted as prime, nor as composite.)


How many prime numbers between 1 and 8888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888?

To determine the number of prime numbers between 1 and 8888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888, we can use the Prime Number Theorem. This theorem states that the density of prime numbers around a large number n is approximately 1/ln(n). Therefore, the number of prime numbers between 1 and 8888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888 can be estimated by dividing ln(8888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888) by ln(2), which gives approximately 1.33 x 10^27 prime numbers.
