Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Summary: A prime number has only two factors: 1 and itself. A composite number has more than two factors. The number 1 is neither prime nor composite. The prime numbers between 2 and 31 are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29 and 31 since each of these numbers has only two factors, itself and 1.
A prime number is the one which has exactly two factors, which means, it can be divided by only “1” and itself. But “1” is not a prime number.
A composite number has more than two factors, which means apart from getting divided by number 1 and itself, it can also be divided by at least one integer or number. We don’t consider ‘1’ as a composite number.
