Which of these numbers don't seem to fit 3 5 7 9 11 13?
9 because all the others are prime numbers
Why do prime numbers seem to get less frequent as you go larger into numbers?
This is not an easy question to answer, but you are correct that primes become less dense as you look at larger numbers.One way I intuitively think of this is, take a number like 10, and compare it to one like500000000, the smaller number certainly has fewer potential factors than the larger one.In other words, as the numbers get larger, many of them will have many more possible factors.Some will still have only 1 and themselves, or perhaps 3 or 4 factors, but in general, there are more factors. This is NOT a mathematical argument, just a way to think about the idea.
Which of the followin groups of numbers are all prime numbers?
Asking a multiple-choice question without providing the choices doesn't really seem fair.
Which of the folloing groups of numbers are all prime numbers?
Asking a multiple-choice question without providing the choices doesn't really seem fair. Pick the ones that only have two factors.
Which ones are the composite numbers?
The ones that aren't prime. Asking a multiple choice question without providing the choices doesn't really seem fair.
