What counting number is neither a prime number nor a composite number?
1 is the counting number that is neither a prime number nor a composite number.
Do composite numbers have to have three factors?
Yes, a composite number has to have at least one factor other than 1 and itself, so they have to have at least 3 factors.

By looking at its factor patterns.
Is 13 a prime or Composite or Neither?
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. 13 is prime.
10 is a composite number because it has factors other than 1 and itself. Specifically, it is an even number greater than 2, which means it has 2 as a factor.
All even numbers (except for the number 2) are composite.
Why all non prime number are divisible by 2 or 3 or 6 times n plus 1 or 6 times n minus 1?
All non-prime numbers are divisible by prime numbers.
Now the smallest to prime numbers are 2 and 3.
The next prime number is 5, which is 6*1 - 1.
All larger numbers are in the form of one of 6n, 6n+1, 6n+2, 6n+3, 6n+4, 6n+5.
Now 6n is divisible by 2 and so cannot be a prime.
6n+2 and 6n+4 are also divisible by 2 and so cannot be prime.
6n+3 is divisible by 3 and so cannot be prime.
That leave 6n+1 and 6n+5 as the only two forms than can be prime.
Note though that 6n+5 = 6m-1 where m = n+1.
So all primes are of the form 2, 3, 6n+1 and 6n-1. And all primes can be divided by primes. The result follows.
No. The concept of composite is applicable to integers. Pi is not an integer.
What is the perfect number between 25 and 30?
28. The sum of its factors (smaller than 28) is 1 + 2 + 4 + 7 + 14 = 28.
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. 2232 is composite.
What makes 21 a composite number?
Mathematically, 21 is a composite number because it fails to meet the definition of a prime or neither prime nor composite number. It meets the rule for a composite number.
- Prime Number - Any number whom's only two factors are one and itself, and is neither 0 nor 1, is prime.
- Composite Number - Any number with other factors than one and itself, and is neither 0 nor 1, is composite.
- Neither Composite Nor Prime - Is only 0 and 1.
Something like this:
sum = 0
for i = 2 to 20 step 2
{
sum = sum + i
}
Which numbers are not composite numbers?
Composite numbers have more than two factors. So, the numbers which have two or less than two factors are not composite numbers. Numbers which have exactly two factors are prime numbers. 1 is an exceptional case because it is neither prime nor composite since it has only one factor which is 1.
What is composite numbers between 10 and 26?
They are the numbers that have more than 2 factors in them because a prime number has only 2 factors which are itself and one
What are neither prime or composite?
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.
Is 329 a prime or composite number?
It is a composite number: 329 = 7 x 47
329 is a composite number. Its factors are 1, 7, 47, and 329.
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. 329 is composite.
