Question

State whether the following statement is True or False.
All even numbers are composite numbers.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

False $2$ is a prime number.

A prime number is a whole number that only has two factors which are itself and one. A composite number has factors in addition to one and itself. The numbers 0 and 1 are neither prime nor composite. All even numbers are divisible by two and so all even numbers greater than two are composite numbers.
