A prime number is a number that has only two factors: 1 and itself
For example, the number 7 has two factors: 1,7 This makes 7 a prime number
Since the number has to be greater than 50, we can go to the next whole number; 51
51 has four factors, 1,3,17,51 This is not our prime number
52 is even so obviously it's not prime because you can divide by two
53 has only two factors; 1,53 This means that its prime and the answer is 53 :)

Which fraction is closer to 0 than 1

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

5/12

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 1/2 is the same distance from zero and one, we can use it to judge whether a fraction is closer to 0 or 1.

Since 5/8 is greater than 4/8 which is 1/2, it is closer to 1.

Since 8/10 is greater than 5/10 which is 1/2, it is closer to 1.

Since 5/12 is less than 6/12 which is 1/2, it is closer to 0.
