Kid, this is for a maths competition. Imma get really pissed off if any more people decide to cheat.
No, there are composite numbers that end in every other digit.
Work back from 999:999 is odd ... no.998 is even and divisible by 2, so it is composite. (All even numbers are composite!)Further Information:-All even numbers are composite except for 2 which is a prime number.
It is impossible to list the infinite number of prime numbers and composite numbers.
Referring to only positive integers, the smallest composite number is 4 (2 x 2). A composite number is any number that is the product of two or more prime numbers.*Referring to all integers, it would be the negative number -9, (3 x -3), which is the also the arithmetically lowest one-digit number. However, under normal definitions, negative numbers are not considered prime or composite numbers.
