Prime & Composite Numbers
Prime Number = only factors are 1 & itself
There is no easy way to find out if a number is or is not prime; Only way is trying
Ask yourself these questions repeatedly (Yes/No):
Is it a multiple of ‘2’?
Is it a multiple of ‘3’?
Is it a multiple of ‘5’?
Is it a multiple of ‘7’?
Is it a multiple of ‘11’?
...
Composite Number = ‘Number That ≠ Prime’
Note: 1 isn’t a composite number; All even numbers (except 2) are composite numbers
