When referring to positive integers, prime means having only two factors and composite means having more than two.
First, zero is not applied to the terms prime and composite because the definitions only apply to natural numbers (positive whole numbers, which does not include zero). One is not prime or composite because one is the unit that is used within the definition of prime of composite numbers, and many definitions of prime and composite even exclude one from the definition. If you want to categorize one within a discussion of prime and composite, it is common to simply call one the unit.
Prime numbers have two factors, composite numbers have more than two.
It doesn't fit either of the definitions. Prime numbers have exactly two factors, composite numbers have more than two. One only has one.
No. Prime numbers cannot be composite and composite numbers cannot be prime!
No, prime factorizations consist entirely of prime numbers.
1 is special 2 prime 3 prime 4 composite 5 prime 6 composite 7 prime 8 composite 9 composite 10 composite 11 prime 12 composite ext.
The product of two prime numbers will be composite.
Prime numbers can not composite as - Prime number has only 2 factors whereas composite have more than 2
Numbers other than prime prime numbers are composite numbers. Only whole numbers should be considered for prime & composite numbers. However, '1' is an exceptional case because it is neither prime nor composite.
Prime factorization never includes a composite number. All numbers in prime factorization must be prime numbers.
there are more composite numbers the prime becuz more things can be divided into
Prime numbers have two factors, composite numbers have more than two.
