Exactly.


What is a number greater than one with more than two factors?

Every number greater than 1 has 1 and the number itself as factors. If it has no other factors besides these two factors, it is a prime number. If it has more factors than 1 and itself, it is a composite number.

Prove that if every even natural number greater than 2 is the sum of two primes then every odd natural number greater than 5 is the sum of three primes?

Given an arbitrary odd natural number greater than five, x, let y = x - 3, then y is an even number greater than 2. By assumption we have that y is the sum of two primes, say y1 and y2, but then x = y1 + y2 + 3 (which is the sum of three primes).


Is every terminating decimal also a natural number?

No because natural numbers are positive whole numbers greater than 0


Does every number have prime factorization?

Every number has at least one factor, the number 1.Every number greater than 1 has at least two factors, 1 and itself.Any number with exactly 2 factors is prime.Any number with more than 2 factors is composite; in this case it can be factorised completely into primes.The number 1 has only one factor. It is therefore neither prime nor composite.
