Is the product of two prime numbers is always composite?
Yes, it is always. Assume temporarily that the product of two prime numbers is not always composite. This implies that that at least one product of prime numbers is also prime. Now, say two different prime numbers p and q, when multiplied, equal r. If r is a prime number, then r's only positive factors are 1 and r. But 1 is not a prime number. This contradicts that both p and q are prime (because either p or q MUST be 1). Therefore, the product of two prime numbers is always composite.
How do you write 30 as a product of its prime factor?
29 is already prime. Prime numbers can't be products of primes.
How would you write 12 as a product of prime numbers?
2 x 2 x 3 = 12
Is the product for any two prime numbers always odd?
Without knowing what the product is, it will be difficult to help. Presumably, you can tell the difference between even and odd numbers. If you are trying to predict, the product of two evens is even, the product of two odds is odd and the product of an even and an odd is even.
What is unique factor?
In number theory, the fundamental theorem of arithmetic, also called the unique factorization theorem or the unique-prime-factorization theorem, states that every integergreater than 1 either is prime itself or is the product of prime numbers, and that this product is unique, up to the order of the factors.
