A natural number greater than 1 that is not a prime number is called a composite number. For example, 5 is prime because only 1 and 5 divide it, whereas 6 is composite because it has the divisors 2 and 3 in addition to 1 and 6. The fundamental theorem of arithmetic establishes the central role of primes in number theory: any integer greater than 1 can be expressed as a product of primes that is unique up to ordering. The uniqueness in this theorem requires excluding 1 as a prime because it is the multiplicative identity.<br />2. composite number is a positive integer that has at least one positive divisor other than one or itself.

Considering that all even numbers are divisible by 2 , it means that the only even prime number is 2 itself as a prime number must only have two factors - one and itself . All the other prime numbers are odd numbers . So , yes and no to the question but mainly yes , all prime numbers are odd except for one (two)<br /><br />Are all even numbers composite numbers ? : Again , yes and no . Most even numbers are composite numbers except for numbers like 27 and 49 which are composite numbers but are odd numbers , not even numbers . In addition , 2 is an even number but it is not a composite number - it is a prime number . <br />sean https://www.blogger.com/profile/02738382961453799649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7712974503564543793.post-90392194704022804962013-01-09T14:14:10.086+08:002013-01-09T14:14:10.086+08:001&2:
