You randomly draw a marble from a bag of marbles that contains 8 88 blue marbles, 5 55 green marbles, and 8 88 red marbles. What
is P(draw a blue or red marble ) P(draw a blue or red marble)start text, P, left parenthesis, d, r, a, w, space, a, space, b, l, u, e, space, o, r, space, r, e, d, space, m, a, r, b, l, e, end text, right parenthesis? If necessary, round your answer to 2 22 decimal places.
No, by definition a prime number is one where the only factors are 1 and itself. If some prime number is a multiple of another number, then that other number is a factor of the prime number. But that would make it composite (non-prime)
For example, the number 11 is prime. The only factors are 1 and itself. If we made the claim that 11 is a multiple of 2, then 2 would be a factor of 11 making 11 non-prime (as it doesn't just have 1 and itself as factors).
Note: If you have two numbers A and B, and you say that A is a factor of B, then A is the smaller value. Though there is the exception when A = B. For example, saying "8 is a factor of 16" has 8 being the smaller value.
Another note: if you say "A is a multiple of B", then B is larger than A. The exception is when A = B. Example: "100 is a multiple of 5"
