Wats tha difference between prime an composite #

A prime number has exactly two factors, namely the number itself and one.
For example 13 is a prime number because its factors are 1 and 13.
It is not divisible by anything else.
29 is also a prime number. Its only factors are 1 and 29.

All other numbers are composite numbers.
They have more or less than 2 factors.
1 is a composite number. It has only 1 factor.
Other composite numbers have more than 2 factors.
For example 25 is a composite number. Its factors are 1, 5 and 25.

I hope this helps.

A prime number can only be divided by itself and one to give whole numbers.

An example is 29. To get a whole number answer through division, you can only divide it by 1 or 29.

A composite number can be divided by other whole numbers as well.

An example is 24. It can be divided by 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 and 24, and give whole number answers each time.

the only integer factor of a prime are itself and one

a composite has at least one more factor

ex : 13 has factors 13 & 1 only and is prime, 15 has factors 1 , 15 , 3 , 5, and is a composite

A prime number has only two factors: unity and the number itself.
A composite number is a number that is not prime, so it has factors in addition to unity and itself.
