A non-zero whole number.
Non zero whole number, with a magnitude greater than any of the numbers.
well, its quite simple: it is a natural number.
Oh, dude, the product of two or more nonzero whole numbers is just the result you get when you multiply them together. It's like when you combine a bunch of numbers and they have a little math party, and the product is the final number that comes out of it. So, yeah, it's just the fancy math way of saying "the answer you get when you multiply stuff."
The product is also a whole number. If the (number of positive factors) minus the (number of negative factors) is zero or an even number, then the product is positive. Otherwise the product is negative.
Every composite number ... that is, one that is not a prime ... can be written as the product of two or more prime numbers. The primes themselves are the exceptions. A prime number is the product of only ' 1 ' and itself, and ' 1 ' is not considered a prime number.
A composite number is an integer which is the product of two or more integers which greater than 1.
Every whole number, except 1, satisfies this requirement since it would be the product of 1 and the number itself.
