The document defines prime and composite numbers. A prime number has only two factors - itself and 1, and is only divisible by those two numbers. A composite number has more than two factors. This is illustrated with 2 being a prime number since it only has two factors, and 6 being a composite number since it has four factors. The key points are that a prime number has two factors, a composite number has more than two, and these categories do not apply to negative integers.
3. My Definition: A Prime number is a number with only two factors, itself and 1. Another way of putting it is a prime number is a number that is only divisible by itself and 1. Prime Numbers
4. My Definition: A Prime number is a number with only two factors, itself and 1. Another way of putting it is a prime number is a number that is only divisible by itself and 1. Examples: Is 2 a prime number? Let’s check Prime Numbers
5. My Definition: A Prime number is a number with only two factors, itself and 1. Another way of putting it is a prime number is a number that is only divisible by itself and 1. Examples: Is 2 a prime number? Let’s check How many factors Does 2 have? Prime Numbers
6. My Definition: A Prime number is a number with only two factors, itself and 1. Another way of putting it is a prime number is a number that is only divisible by itself and 1. Examples: Is 2 a prime number? Let’s check How many factors Does 2 have? Well, the factors of 2 are 1 and 2. So... Prime Numbers

Example: Is 2 a prime number? Let’s check How many factors Does 2 have? Well, the factors of 2 are 1 and 2. So... 2 is a prime number! Prime numbers
9. My Definition: A composite number is basically the opposite to a prime number. A composite number is a number with more than 2 factors. Composite Numbers
10. My Definition: A composite number is basically the opposite to a prime number. A composite number is a number with more than 2 factors. Example: Is 6 a composite number? Let’s check Composite Numbers
11. My Definition: A composite number is basically the opposite to a prime number. A composite number is a number with more than 2 factors. Example: Is 6 a composite number? Let’s check How many factors does 6 have? Composite Numbers
12. My Definition: A composite number is basically the opposite to a prime number. A composite number is a number with more than 2 factors. Example: Is 6 a composite number? Let’s check How many factors does 6 have? Well, the factors of 6 are, 1,2,3 and 6. So... Composite Numbers
13. My Definition: A composite number is basically the opposite to a prime number. A composite number is a number with more than 2 factors. Example: Is 6 a composite number? Let’s check How many factors does 6 have? Well, the factors of 6 are, 1,2,3 and 6. So... 6 is a composite number because it has more than 2 factors!! Composite Numbers
15. A prime number is a number with only 2 factors, itself and 1. Points to Remember
16. A prime number is a number with only 2 factors, itself and 1. A Composite number is a number with more than 2 factors like, 6 it has 4 factors. Points to Remember
17. A prime number is a number with only 2 factors, itself and 1. A Composite number is a number with more than 2 factors like, 6 it has 4 factors. Another fact is that these 2 categories do not apply for integers ( negative numbers) Points to Remember
