What is the definition of prime & composite numbers?


\Large\maltese\underline{\textsf{B. This problem has been solved!}}

A prime number can be evenly divided by 1 and itself. These are its only two factors.

A composite number can be evenly divided by 1, itself, and something else. In other words, composite numbers have more than 2 factors.


\cline{1-2}


\bf{Result:}


\bf{\begin{cases}\bf{Primes\;have\;only\;2\;factors} \\ \bf{Composites\;have\;3\;or\;more\;factors} \end{cases}


\LARGE\boxed{\bf{aesthetic\\ot1\theta l}}

Answer:

'A prime number is a number which has exactly two factors i.e. '1' and the number itself. A composite number has more than two factors, which means apart from getting divided by 1 and the number itself, it can also be divided by at least one positive integer.'
