Prime Numbers

A prime number is a number that has exactly two factors: 1 and itself. All whole numbers greater than 1 are either prime numbers or can be written as the product of prime numbers. There are an infinite number of prime numbers, but they occur less frequently among larger numbers. Prime numbers are important in cryptography and number theory.

2 x 116;

2 x 2 x 58;

Can the number 1 be categorized as either prime or composite?

No, 1 isn't composite or prime.

For a number to be prime, it should only have exactly two factors, 1 and itself.

For a number to be composite, it should have two or more factors.

1 only has one factor: itself, which is why 1 is not a prime or composite number.

Is number 9 gravity?

Not quite, However the acceleration on a body due to gravity can be appronimated as 9.81m/s^2

How do you find the GCF of 9and 18 using prime factorization?

the answer by inspection is 9

by factoring

9=3*3

18=2*3*3

the common factors are 3*3 2 is not common to 9 so it is omitted... 3*3=9 the GCF of 9 and 18

Is there a limit to how many factors a certain number has?

Each number has a certain amount of factors. Other numbers may have the same amount of factors, but not the same exact factors. Since numbers don't stop, thee amount of factors doesn't stop either, but each number has a distinct set.

What is the sum of all the prime numbers less than 100 that contain 1?
