Question

can anyone of you explain it ! is 1 is a prime number /composit number ​

Answer 1

Answer: 1 is neither prime nor composite

Step-by-step explanation: A natural number (i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, etc.) is called a prime number (or a prime) if it has exactly two positive factors, 1 and the number itself. Natural numbers that have more than two positive factors are called composite. 1 has only one positive factor i.e. no.1 only. Hence 1 is neither prime nor composite.

Answer 2

Natural number that have more than two positive factors are called composites. 1 has only one positive factors i.e no. 1 only. hence 1 is neither prime nor composites.
