What does composite number mean in mathematics?

A composite number has more than 2 factors whereas a prime number only has 2 factors which are itself and one

Is the number 1 composite or prime and why?

1 is neither a prime nor a composite number because it has only one factor (itself (1)). The definition of a prime number is a number that has the factor of one and itself, so one is not prime. The definition of a composite number is a number that has more than 2 factors, so one is not composite. One is a special number.

Is the number 10 prime or composite?

10 is a composite number because it has more than 2 factors

How many composite numbers between 1 and 30?

19 numbers. They are 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18, 20, 21, 22, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 30

What do you call a number that's neither prime or composite?

One.

By definition numbers are:

  • prime if they have only 2 distinct factors (namely 1 and the number itself);
  • composite if they have 3 or more distinct factors

The important thing to note is the word distinct. The number 1 has only 1 distinct factor, namely 1; thus it is neither a prime (the first prime number is 2) nor composite.

What is the sum composite numbers between 21 and 50?

The list of composite numbers between 21 and 50 includes 21, 22, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 30, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 38, 39, 40, 42, 44, 45, 46, 48, 49, 50.

I don't know if you're including 21 and 50 or not. Add them up however you like.
