Number which is the product of two or more than two distinct or same prime numbers is said to be composite number Or we say that if a number has more than two factors then it is said to be a composite number.įor example 4, 6, 8, 15……….are all composite numbers Want to learn more about recognizing prime and composite numbers Check out this video. The factors of are and All of these numbers divide into evenly. A composite number has factors in addition to and the number. Step 3:Since 313 is not divisible by any of these prime numbers, hence 313 is a prime number. What are composite numbers Composite numbers have more than factors. Step 2: We write all primes less than 17.69 i.e. Let us check whether 313 is prime or not? Step 3:Since 211 is not divisible by any of these prime numbers, hence 211 is a prime number. Step 2: We write all primes less than 14.52 i.e. Let us check whether 211 is prime or not? Step 4: If N is not divisible by any of the prime numbers then N is prime. Step 3: Check divisibility of N with these prime numbers, which we have got in Step 2. Step 2: Write down all the prime numbers less than K. So just as a bit of review, a prime number is a natural number- so one of the. Step 1: Find square root of N, call it as K (Just find approximate values) Determine whether the following numbers are prime, composite, or neither. Example: Find if 14 is a composite number. For example, 15 has factors 1, 3, 5, and 15, hence it is a composite number. Then check the divisibility of the given number N by all the prime numbers we have written in previous step, if it is not divisible by any of the prime numbers then given number N is prime. A composite number is a natural number or a positive integer which has more than two factors.
To check whether a given number N is prime or not, first find the square root of that number N and then approximate that to immediately lower integer (say n) and write down all the prime numbers less than that integer (n). In other words, composite numbers are a type of numbers that can be written in two different ways.
