Math Problem Statement
Sort the numbers 10 and 11 into the categories Prime, Composite, or Neither.
Solution
From the image, the task is to sort numbers into three categories: Prime, Composite, or Neither.
Definitions:
- Prime numbers: Numbers greater than 1 with only two factors: 1 and itself (e.g., 2, 3, 5, 7, 11).
- Composite numbers: Numbers greater than 1 that have more than two factors (e.g., 4, 6, 8, 10).
- Neither: This typically includes numbers like 0 and 1 since they are neither prime nor composite.
For the given numbers:
- 10 is Composite because it has factors 1, 2, 5, and 10.
- 11 is Prime because it has only two factors: 1 and 11.
