White shadings - Prime Numbers ( examples: 11, 13...)
ReplyDeleteBlue shadings - Composite Numbers ( examples: 99, 100)
( As for one, since it is supposedly, neither prime nor composite, so I am currently unsure why is it under the blue shading...)
"One is neither a prime nor a composite number. A prime number is one
Deletewith exactly two positive divisors, itself and one. One has only one
positive divisor. It cannot be written as a product of two factors,
neither of which is itself, so one is also not composite. It falls
in a class of numbers called units. These are the numbers whose
reciprocals are also whole numbers." http://mathforum.org/library/drmath/view/57036.html
The white shadings are prime numbers (e.g. 5 and 7).
ReplyDeleteThe blue shadings are composite numbers(e.g. 55 and 78).
White shadings are prime numbers. (e.g. 87,99)
ReplyDeleteBlue shadings are composite numbers (e.g. 4,6)
I agree with Xue qin, but they are using the sieve of erasthotenes(sorry if it's spelt wrongly) method, so they just shaded 1 blue, right?

Numbers in White are prime numbers (eg. 31, 67)
ReplyDeleteNumbers in Blue are composite number (eg. 45 , 78)
@lynette and @Xue qin , i got this explanation which answers your question . "One is neither a prime nor a composite number. A prime number is one
with exactly two positive divisors, itself and one. One has only one
positive divisor. It cannot be written as a product of two factors,
neither of which is itself, so one is also not composite. It falls

White numbers prime (7, 11)
ReplyDeleteBlue numbers composite(21, 93)
The numbers shaded white are prime numbers. e.g. 101,103
ReplyDeleteThe numbers shaded blue are composite numbers. e.g 102, 104
White is prime numbers.
ReplyDeleteBlue is composite numbers.
e.g (White): 13,47
Delete(Blue) : 68,99
The numbers in white are prime numbers such as 3,5,7
ReplyDeleteThe numbers in blue are composite numbers like 4,6,8
White: Prime Numbers
ReplyDeleteBlue: Composite Numbers
White: Prime numbers (eg. 3,5,)
ReplyDeleteBlue: Composite numbers (eg. 1,4)
White: Prime numbers (2,3,5,7,11,etc)
ReplyDeleteBlue: Composite numbers (4,6,8,9,10, etc)
White shadings- Prime numbers (eg. 2, 3, 5, 7 etc)
ReplyDeleteBlue shadings- Composite numbers (e.g. 4, 6, 8, 9 etc)
