Step 1: Explain the Composite numbers.
Composite numbers: Composite numbers also known as composites in mathematics are numbers that have more than factors, not like prime numbers that have only two factor, i.e. and the number itself.
- Composite numbers are all natural numbers that are not prime numbers since they can be divided by more than two numbers.
- Any even number which is greater than is a composite number.
- Zero is considered neither prime nor a composite number because it does not have any factors
Properties of Composite Numbers:
- Composite numbers have more than two factors
- Each composite number is a factor in itself
- Composite numbers are evenly divisible by their factors
- The smallest composite number is
- Each composite number will include at least two prime numbers as its factors.
- Composite numbers are divisible by other composite numbers also.
Step 2: Explain why is composite number
We have,
We can also write this as
As has more than two factors.
Hence, is a composite number. The given number
Step 3: Explain why is composite number
We can also write it as
As has more than two factors.
Hence, is also a composite number.
Hence proved.
