That is how they are defined. Any number greater than 1 is composite if it has a factor other than 1 and itself. If it is not a composite number then it is a Prime number. It mustbe one or the other and the result follows.
Yes, a composite number is a positive integer which has a positive divisor other than one or itself. By definition, every integer greater than one is either a prime number or a composite number and since 2 is the only even prime number the result is every number greater than 2 is a composite number
Every positive integer greater than 1 is either prime or composite.
Every even number greater than 2 is composite.
Every even number greater than two is composite.
No. It IS true that every whole number is either prime or composite. But there are numbers that are not whole numbers, such as 2.5, which are neither prime nor composite.
Yes, a composite number is a positive integer which has a positive divisor other than one or itself. By definition, every integer greater than one is either a prime number or a composite number and since 2 is the only even prime number the result is every number greater than 2 is a composite number
Every positive integer greater than 1 is either prime or composite.
There are an infinite amount of numbers greater than two that are composite numbers. Every even number, for instance, is a composite number
Every even number greater than 2 is composite.
Every even number greater than two is composite.
Every positive number greater than one is either prime or composite and can't switch from one to the other.
No. It IS true that every whole number is either prime or composite. But there are numbers that are not whole numbers, such as 2.5, which are neither prime nor composite.
By definition, every integer greater than one is either a prime or a composite number. Indeed, a composite number is defined to be a positive integer which has a positive divisor other than one or itself. And a prime number is defined to be a integer greater than one which has the contrary property (exactly two divisors - one and itself). So any number greater than one is either composite or prime. Among the natural numbers, it remains the number 1, which is neither composite nor prime. 0 is composite, since has all positive integer as divisors.
2315 is a composite number like every number greater than 5 that ends with a 5.
No. Every even number greater than 2 is composite.
Every even number greater than 2 is composite.
The same as every other even numbers greater than 2, 124 is a composite number.
