1 is not composite or prime.
Every positive integer greater than 1 is either prime or composite.
It is 1 that is neither a prime or a composite number The number 1 is neither prime nor composite.
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.
It is prime. By the way, any integer greater than 1 is either prime or composite. "Neither" is not an option in such a case.
1 is not composite or prime.
Every positive integer greater than 1 is either prime or composite.
198 is a composite 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.
No, 1 isn't composite or prime.For a number to be prime, it should only have exactly two factors, 1 and itself.For a number to be composite, it should have two or more factors.1 only has one factor: itself, which is why 1 is not a prime or composite number.
Well, yes, the number 1 is usually considered in a special category. It is not considered prime, but it isn't composite, either.
Every natural number above one is either prime or composite, if it is prime, its only factors are itself and 1, if it is composite it has additional factors beyond that.
A prime number is a natural number that has exactly two distinct natural number divisors: 1 and itself. A composite number is a positive integer which has a positive divisor other than one or itself.
A positive whole number that is not prime is either unity (1) or composite. A composite number has smaller prime numbers as its factors; for example, 6 = 2 x 3.
1 is a special number, neither prime nor composite. A prime number has exactly 2 factors, 1 and the number itself. A composite number has more than two factors. 2 is prime because there are only two factors of 2, 1 and itself.
In all but one case. Literally, The number "one" is neither prime nor composite.
It is 1 that is neither a prime or a composite number The number 1 is neither prime nor composite.
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.
