Math Problem Statement
Sort each number into Prime, Composite, or Neither.
Solution
In the image, numbers are being sorted into three categories: Prime, Composite, and Neither. Here's how the remaining number (15) should be sorted:
- Prime numbers: Numbers greater than 1 that have no divisors other than 1 and themselves. Examples: 11, 13.
- Composite numbers: Numbers greater than 1 that have more than two divisors. Examples: 10, 12, 14.
- Neither: Typically refers to numbers like 0 or 1.
15 is Composite because it has divisors other than 1 and itself (e.g., 1, 3, 5, 15).

Tip: To check if a number is prime, test divisibility by all integers up to its square root. If no divisors are found, it's prime!
