What is the smallest positive divisor greater than 1 of a composite number X from the following:
(i) < +sqrt%28+X+%29+
(ii) = +sqrt%28+X+%29+
(iii) > +sqrt%28+X+%29+
(iv) <= +sqrt%28+X+%29+
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


The smallest positive divisor greater than 1 of a composite number X is lesser than or equal to   sqrt%28X%29.

It is as clear as   2 x 2 = 4.


This belongs to the category of obvious truths.
