which of these statements about prime and composite numbers is true?

F)all prime numbers are odd.

G)all prime numbers have three factors.

H)all composite numbers are divisible by two.

J)all composite numbers have more then two factors

i thinks it (J) but im not sure

j is true.

H is the answer

J is true not h sorry

What is it tho

To determine which statement about prime and composite numbers is true, let's analyze each option:

F) "All prime numbers are odd."

To verify this statement, we can examine a list of prime numbers. Prime numbers are numbers greater than 1 that are only divisible by 1 and themselves. By observing the list of prime numbers, we can see that not all prime numbers are odd.

Example: 2 is a prime number, and it is even.

Since there is a counterexample, option F is false.

G) "All prime numbers have three factors."

To test this statement, we can recall that prime numbers only have two distinct factors: 1 and the number itself. Therefore, the statement is not true for all prime numbers.

Example: 2 is a prime number and only has two factors: 1 and 2.

Since there is a counterexample, option G is false.

H) "All composite numbers are divisible by two."

To evaluate this statement, we must recall the definition of composite numbers. Composite numbers are positive integers greater than 1 that have more than two factors.

Example: The number 9 is a composite number because it is divisible by 3, in addition to 1 and 9. However, 9 is not divisible by 2.

Since there is a counterexample, option H is false.

J) "All composite numbers have more than two factors."

To verify this statement, we can recall that composite numbers are numbers greater than 1 that are divisible by more than just 1 and themselves. Therefore, the statement is true for all composite numbers.

Example: The number 4 is a composite number, and it has three factors: 1, 2, and 4.

Since there are no counterexamples, option J is true.

Based on our analysis, your guess was correct. Option J is the true statement:

J) All composite numbers have more than two factors.
