​

Answer 1

Answer:

composite number

Prime numbers are numbers which have 1 and itself as its factor

Composite numbers are numbers which have 1 and itself and other prime number(s) as its factor

Answer 2

Answer:

Hiii♥

• Prime numbers are the ones which have only two factors 1 and itself.

• It cannot be expressed as a product any other numbers.

3×12×101 + 4

4 (3×3×101 + 1)

→ Here the number is expressed as a products of other numbers.

Hence it is not a prime number. It is a composite number
