Thank you very much! :)
You're very welcome.
Sure! I'd be happy to provide examples of prime and composite numbers.
1. Prime numbers: Prime numbers are positive integers greater than 1 with only two factors - 1 and the number itself. Examples of prime numbers include:
- 2: It is the only even prime number.
- 7: It has no other factors except for 1 and 7.
2. Composite numbers: Composite numbers are positive integers greater than 1 that have more than two factors. Examples of composite numbers include:
- 4: It can be divided evenly by 1, 2, and 4, making it a composite number.
- 9: It is divisible by 1, 3, and 9, which means it is not a prime number.
To determine whether a number is prime or composite, you can follow these steps:
1. Start with the number you want to classify.
2. Check if it is divisible evenly by any number other than 1 and itself.
3. If it has any divisors other than 1 and itself, it is a composite number. Otherwise, it is a prime number.
Remember that 1 is neither prime nor composite because it has only one factor.
