Question

77 is written as the product of two prime numbers 7 × 11. Can 702 be written as the product of two prime numbers? If not, why? What about 703?​

Answer 1

Answer:

702 can't be written as the product of 2 prime numbers because if you divide 702 by 2 then you get 351 and that is not a prime number. Therefore, 702 is a prime number.

The prime factorization of 703 is 19 × 37. Since it has a total of 2 prime factors, 703 is a composite number.
