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 28 prime or composite if it is composite write the prime factorization of the number?
composite and 2*2*7 = 28
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:
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.

Having wasted my time compiling this list of 307 odd 3 digit composites, I would be interested to know what, if anything, you will do with this information.
What is a composite number between 60 and 80?
Any number except 61 67 71 73 and 79 which are prime numbers
Is the product of any two whole numbers a composite number?
No. If you multiply any prime number (such as 2, 3, 5, 7, or 11) by 1, you will get a prime number.
