List the factors. Is this a prom or composite

Yes.

Help me plz 2v+18=16-4(v+7)

To determine if a number is prime or composite, you need to list its factors. Factors are the numbers that can evenly divide the given number without leaving a remainder.

Here's how you can list the factors of a number:

1. Start by dividing the number by the smallest prime number, which is 2.
2. If the number is divisible by 2, write down the factor 2 and the corresponding quotient as a pair.
3. Continue dividing the quotient by the next smallest prime number (3) and repeat the process until the quotient is 1.
4. If the quotient becomes 1, the process is complete.

For example, let's say we want to determine the factors of the number 12:

1. Divide 12 by 2. The quotient is 6, so we write down the factor pair (2, 6).
2. Divide 6 by 2. The quotient is 3. We write down the factor pair (2, 6) and also the factor pair (2, 3).
3. Divide 3 by 2. Since 3 is not divisible by 2, we move to the next prime number, which is 3 itself.
4. Divide 3 by 3. The quotient is 1. We write down the factor pair (2, 6), (2, 3), and (3, 1).
5. Since the quotient is now 1, we stop. The factors of 12 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12.

After listing the factors, you can determine if the number is prime or composite. A prime number has exactly two distinct factors, 1 and itself, while a composite number has more than two factors.

In this case, since the number 12 has more than two factors (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12), it is a composite number.
