A Prime number has only 2 factors which are 1 and itself. Composite numbers are everything else, except 1 and 0. 1 and 0 are neither prime, nor composite.
So 'what is the same', is that both prime and composite numbers have 1 as a factor, and itself as a factor.

Can composite numbers be negative?
A composite number is defined as a "positive integer with a positive divisor other than one and itself". So therefore, while negative numbers can have factors in the same way as positive numbers, none is considered prime.
Is 29 a prime number composite?
No, because prime and a composite number are the opposite and cannot be the same.
Are prime numbers and composite numbers the same?
No --primes and composites are not the same. In fact they are mutually exclusive concepts. A prime number is a number other than one that can only be divided by itself and one. Examples are 2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19. (There are infinitely many more) A composite is a number with a divisor other than itself and one. Examples are 4 ( 2 is a divisor), 6 ( 3 and 2 are divisors),15 ( 3 and 5 are divisors). Every (positive whole) number is either prime or composite, One is special- neither prime nor composite. Prime - Divided only by 1 and itself. Composite - can be divided by a number other than one and itself. Bam bam simple math.
What is a prime number times a prime number?
A prime number times a prime number is a composite number. Since prime numbers, except for 2, are odd numbers, a prime number times a prime number is usually an odd number. It will only be an even number if one of the prime numbers is 2. A prime number times a prime number will be a number with four factors unless both prime numbers are the same, in which case it will be a square number with only three factors.
What numbers are not prime numbers?
Any natural number with exactly two unique factors, 1 and itself, is a prime number. Any other natural number is composite, not prime. So, some numbers that are not prime are 0, 1, negative numbers, fractions, decimals, irrational numbers, and imaginary numbers. Here are some numbers that are not prime numbers.1/25/60.06250511.39π√23iAll integers greater than one (the natural numbers) that are not prime numbers are composite numbers. Composite numbers are integers that have more than two factors, including 1. Here is a list of some numbers and whether they are prime numbers or composite numbers.1 - unity, neither prime nor composite2 - prime3 - prime4 - composite (factors are 1, 2, and 4)5 - prime6 - composite (factors are 1, 2, 3, and 6)7 - prime8 - composite (factors are 1, 2, 4, and 8)9 - composite (factors are 1, 3, and 9)10 - composite (factors are 1, 2, 5, and 10)___________________Any natural number (of 2 or more digits, understood throughout this answer) that ends with 0, 2, 4, 5, 6 or 8 must be a composite number and therefore cannot be prime. Primes will end only with 1, 3, 7 or 9, but composite numbers can end with any digit.Any number with a digital root* of 3, 6 or 9 must be a composite number and therefore cannot be prime. A prime number will have a digital root that equals 1, 2, 4, 5, 7 or 8, but composite numbers can have a digital root of any nonzero integer.*The digital root of a number is the result of adding a number's digits, continuing to add the digits of the sum, until you are left with one single digit. You can add the digits in any order, and can add the digits of the accumulated sum at any time; the result will always be the same if done accurately.Even if given a very long number that ends in 1, 3, 7 or 9, you might be able to stun people by accurately stating that the number must be composite, if you mentally calculate the digital root and find it to be 3, 6 or 9. You won't be able to isolate every single composite, but with a digital root of 3, 6, or 9, you can be certain that THAT number IS composite.Any natural number divided by 6 is composite if the digital fraction is equal to .0 exactly, .5 exactly, .3333 repeating, or.6666 repeating.
What is the same thing about composite and prime numbers?
They are whole numbers.
Can 2 numbers have the same prime factorization?
Only if they're the same number. Every composite number has a unique prime factorization.
What the greatest common factor of 51 and 68?
1751 6817x3 4x172x2you circle the prime numbers and break down the composite numbers until they are all prime. The circled one on this that is the same between the two is 17.
Is the product of a prime number the same as the prime factorization?
A prime factorization is the same as expressing a composite number as the product of its prime factors. Prime numbers don't have factorizations; they're already prime.
Can composite and prime numbers be the same?
No they can not. A prime number has only 2 factors which are 1 and itself. Composite numbers are everything else except 1, 2, and 0. 1, 2, and 0 have a different name.
Is 124 prime or composite number?
The same as every other even numbers greater than 2, 124 is a composite number.
How you find sum of prime numbers?
Prime numbers have only two factors which are themselves and one and they add up in the same way as composite numbers which have more than two factors
What are two composite numbers with the GCF of 1?
Any two composite numbers who do not share the same prime factors.15 = 5x322 = 11x2So 15 and 22 have a GCF of 1
Can composite numbers be negative?
A composite number is defined as a "positive integer with a positive divisor other than one and itself". So therefore, while negative numbers can have factors in the same way as positive numbers, none is considered prime.
Why is 1 or 0 not composite or prime?
1 is not prime or composite because first, prime numbers are divisible by 1 and itself so 1 is itself and that is only one number. It is not composite because it only has one factor, itself. 0 is not prime or composite because it has an infinite number of divisors because any whole number that isn't 0 divides 0. It can't be written as two numbers so it can't be prime and for that same reason it can't even be composite.
Is 29 a prime number composite?
No, because prime and a composite number are the opposite and cannot be the same.
Can a prime and composite number be the same?
No, they can not be both. A prime number has only 2 factors which are 1 and itself. Composite numbers are everything else except 1, 2, and 0. 1, 2, and 0 have a different name.
