Question

Show through factorising that 899 is not a prime number

Answer 1

Answer:

1, 29, 31, 899

Step-by-step explanation:

since 899 has more than 2 factors (1,,21 ,31,899) , 899 is not a prime number

Answer 2

Given:

We have given a number which is 899.

To Find:

We have to show that 899 is not a prime number.

Step-by-step explanation:

• We have given a number 899.
• Prime number:
• A number is said to be prime if the factorization of that number contains only 1 and that number itself.
• Or we can say that a number is said to be prime if the number has only factors are 1 and number itself. Not any other is a factor of the number.
• First of all we will do the factorization of the number 899
• Factors of 899=$29\times31$

• We can see 899 has two factors 29 and 31 which are other than 1 and number itself.

Thus, 899 is not a prime number.
