A composite factor is a factor that is a composite number, as opposed to a prime factor which is a factor that is a prime number.
39 = 3 x 13
All composite numbers have more than 2 factors whereas prime numbers have only 2 factors
The prime factors of a number by multiplying each other. You can also use exponents. a prime factorization is when you divide a number and see what all of the prime (odd) numbers make up that number. EX. 9 / \ 3 3 then you would circle the 3's because they are prime.
prime number: divisible by itself and 1. composite number: divisible by more than itself and 1. Prime: 2 3 7 17 23 composite: 6 9 18 21
771 is a composite number. Its prime factors are 3, 257
A prime number is 2 factors and a composite number is 3 or more!
3 is a prime number because it has only two factors which are itself and one. A composite number has factors other than 1 and itself.prime
ok well i am in prime and composite in math class and this is how: If the number is a prime then it can only have 2 factors. If it has 3 or more it is a composite number. Say 25 has a lot of factors so it is a composite number. And if 1 has only 1 factor then it is a prime number. And there you have prime and composite.
3 is prime number so its only factors are 1 and itself. ^_^
The factors of 33 are 1, 3, 11, and 33. It has 3 or more factors. It is a composite number.
21 is a Composite Number. A prime number is a whole number that only has two factors which are itself and one. A composite number has factors in addition to one and itself. 21 is divisible by 3 and 7.
3 is not a composite number.3 is a prime number because its factors are only 1 and itself.No.
A composite factor is a factor that is a composite number, as opposed to a prime factor which is a factor that is a prime number.
The factors of 18 are: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, and 18.Since there are other factors in addition to '1' and the number itself,the number is composite.18 is a composite number because it has more than 2 factors18 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.18 is not prime; it is composite. 18 = 2 * 3 * 3
Three is prime, because the number 3 only has 2 factors 1 and itself and the number 4 has 3 factors 1,2, and 4 (you can tell if a number is prime when it has 2 factors and if a number has more than 2 it is composite)
Not if the composite number is a multiple of the prime number.
