A prime number is a number greater than one and can only be divided by 1 and itself. The result is always a whole number, i.e. no fractions, decimals, remainders. 

<span>Example: </span>
<span>2 can only be divided by 1 and itself </span>
<span>3 can only be divided by 1 and itself. </span>

<span>4 however, can be divided by 1 or 2 or itself </span>

<span>1 is not a prime number since it is not greater than one.</span>

Prime numbers are positive integers that cannot be factored. Meaning it cannot be divided by any other number but 1 and itself.

For example:
2 is a prime number. It can only be divided by 1 and 2.
4 is not a prime number. Because it can be divided by 1, 2, and 4.

Take note: prime numbers are POSITIVE integers only.

Additional information about prime numbers:
* The only even prime number is 2. The rest even number are not prime numbers because it can be divided by 2.
* zero and 1 are not considered prime numbers
* numbers that are not prime numbers are called composite numbers.

Alik [6]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  √629 ≈ 25.08

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance formula is useful for this.

  d = √((x2 -x1)² +(y2 -y1)²)

  d = √((-12 -13)² +(6 -8)²) = √(625 +4) = √629 ≈ 25.08

The distance between the points is about 25.08 units.

e-lub [12.9K]

<u>Note that:</u>

  • Men:Woman = 3:2
  • 54 women = Total woman in a company

<u>3:2 can also be written as 3x:2x.</u>

  • => Men:54 = 3x:2x
  • => 54 = 2x
  • => x = 27
  • => Men = 3x
  • => Men = 3(27) = 81
  • => Total employees: 81 + 54
  • => Total employees: 135

There are 135 employees in total.
