Question

Write the definition of prime number and composite number with examples

Answer 1

Answer:

prime number is a whole number greater than 1 whose only factors are 1 and itself. A factor is a whole numbers that can be divided evenly into another number. The first few prime numbers are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23 and 29.

Numbers that have more than two factors are called composite numbers. The number 1 is neither prime nor composite.

for example, the integer 14 is a composite number because it is the product of the two smaller integers 2 × 7.
