5. Explain why 3 x 5 x 7 + 7 is a composite number. |
|
Answer» A composite number is a number that is divisible by another number other than by itself and one. The number 2 is the only even prime number. All other even numbers are composite numbers. As per BODMAS rule: 3 x 5 x 7 + 7 = 105 + 7 = 112. 112 is an even number and is therefore a composite number. Also, 112 is divisible by other numbers such as 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 16, 28 and 56 apart from itself (112) and 1. |
