A whole number that has more than two divisors is?
Called a composite number.
What is the opposite word for the prime number?
A composite number is a number that has more divisors than 1 and itself.
How would you describe the difference between a prime number and a composite number?
A prime number has only 2 divisors, 1 and itself. Any number with more than two divisors is a composite number. Composite numbers are made up of primes. Because of that, we can think of primes as the building blocks of composite numbers - just as we think of letters as the building blocks of words. For example, 3 is prime since its only divisors are 1 and 3. Now look at 6; it can be written as 2 x 3 so it has divisors, 1, 2, 3, and 6.A prime number is a positive integer with two factors: one and the number itself.A composite number is a positive integer with more than two factors.
Which are the numbers which are neither prime nor composite and why?
All primes have two positive divisors. There are only two integers that are neither composite or prime and they are 1 and 0. The number 1 has only 1 positive divisor, itself. The number 0 has an infinite number of divisors.
What is the definition of prime composite?
A prime number is a natural number that has exactly two distinct natural number divisors: 1 and itself. A composite number is a positive integer which has a positive divisor other than one or itself.
27 Prime or Composite?
Composite, for it has four positive integer divisors, 1, 3, 9, 27. To be a prime number, it needs to have only two integer divisors, 1 and itself.

How many divisors are there for the number 195?
There are eight divisors of the number 195.
Which are the numbers which are neither prime nor composite and why?
All primes have two positive divisors. There are only two integers that are neither composite or prime and they are 1 and 0. The number 1 has only 1 positive divisor, itself. The number 0 has an infinite number of divisors.
Is eighty a prime or composite number?
eighty is a composite number since it has the divisors of 16 and 5, 2 and 40,etc... in addition to 1 and its self (80).
How many divisors does the number 23 have?
23 is a prime number. It has two divisors.
What is the definition of prime composite?
A prime number is a natural number that has exactly two distinct natural number divisors: 1 and itself. A composite number is a positive integer which has a positive divisor other than one or itself.
Do bigger numbers necessarily have more divisors?
No they do not, take a big prime number and compare it to a smaller composite number. The number 6833 as only two factors (divisors), namely 1 and itself. But the number 68 which is much smaller has more factors or divisors. 68 has 2 and 4 and 17 and 1 and itself which is already more divisors than 6833.
How many divisors are in the number 4?
Three divisors: 1 2 4.
What is an interesting mathematical fact for the number 12?
The number 12 is divisible by 1,2,3,4,6, and 12 It's a composite number , the smallest number with exactly 6 divisors.
What number is not a prime or composite?
By definition, every integer greater than one is either a prime or a composite number. Indeed, a composite number is defined to be a positive integer which has a positive divisor other than one or itself. And a prime number is defined to be a integer greater than one which has the contrary property (exactly two divisors - one and itself). So any number greater than one is either composite or prime. Among the natural numbers, it remains the number 1, which is neither composite nor prime. 0 is composite, since has all positive integer as divisors.
