The numbers 0 and 1 are neither prime nor composite. They are too special because they represent nothingness (zero) and wholeness (one), so the idea of having factors for 0 and 1 does not make sense. ... For example, all even numbers are divisible by two, and so all even numbers greater than two are composite numbers.if a natural number is not prime, then we say that it is composite. ... Example: The value six, 6, is a composite number because it has four counting number factors: 1, 2, 3, and 6. We have 1 · 6 = 6 and 2 · 3 = 6. It turns out that mathematicians have declared that 1 is neither prime nor composite.
A qualitative prediction is made by using senses and educated guesses, unlike quantitative observations which use scientific methods. For example, you take a rock and examine it. One qualitative observation of this rock is it is smooth and gray. A quantitative observation is it is two pounds. Hope I helped :))
The simplest fraction for is . Write the upper bound as a fraction with the same denominator:
.
Hence the range for would be:
.
If the denominator of is also , then the range for its numerator (call it ) would be . Apparently, no whole number could fit into this interval. The reason is that the interval is open, and the difference between the bounds is less than .
To solve this problem, consider scaling up the denominator. To make sure that the numerator of the bounds are still whole numbers, multiply both the numerator and the denominator by a whole number (for example, 2.)
.
.
At this point, the difference between the numerators is now . That allows a number ( in this case) to fit between the bounds. However, can't be written as finite decimals.
Try multiplying the numerator and the denominator by a different number.

It is important to note that some expressions for can be simplified. For example, because of the common factor .
