Prime and composite numbers
Prime Number:
Let ‘p’ be a natural number ‘p’ is said to be prime if it has exactly two distinct factors, namely 1 and itself.
e.g., 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, …..
There are 25 prime numbers between 1 and 100. These are:
2, 3, 5,7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89 & 97.
Composite Number:
Let ‘a’ be a natural number, ‘a’ is said to be composite if, it has atleast three distinct factors.
Note:
(i) ‘1’ is neither prime nor composite.
(ii) ‘2’ is the only even prime number.
(iii) Number which are not prime are composite numbers (except 1).
(iv) ‘4’ is the smallest composite number.
