--------------------------------------------------------------------------


2.Is 21 a prime number? Is 43 a prime number?Explain.


No, 21 = 7*3 which means it&#39;s not prime. The number 43 is prime since its only factors are 1 and 43.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------


3.Give an example of a composite number and tell why it is a composite number.


27 is a composite number since 27 = 3*9, so it can be factored into the product of two smaller numbers (none of which are 1 or 27)

4.Is 48 a multiple of 6? Is 8 a multiple of 40? Explain.


48 is a multiple of 6 since 48 = 6*8. The number 8 is NOT a multiple of 40 since 8 = 40x has NO integer solution.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------


5. Is 8 a factor of 20? Is 7 a factor of 35? Explain.


8 is NOT a factor of 20 since 8x = 20 has no integer solution


7 is a factor of 35 since 35 = 7*5</PRE>
