Fill in the blanks for a composite number:
To solve this problem of finding a composite number in the form of "", let's evaluate each of the given digit choices:
Given the analysis of each possible number formed, the only composite number is . Therefore, placing a 7 in front of 7 achieves the objective.
Thus, the correct filling digit resulting in a composite number is .
Which of the numbers is a prime number?
A prime number has exactly two divisors: 1 and itself. A composite number has more than two divisors. For example, 37 is prime (divisors: 1, 37) while 77 is composite (divisors: 1, 7, 11, 77).
Try dividing by small primes like 2, 3, 5, 7, 11. If any divide evenly, it's composite! For , we see , so it's composite.
The number 1 is neither prime nor composite by definition. It only has one divisor (itself), which doesn't fit either category that requires at least two divisors.
Yes! Divide the number by potential factors. If you get a whole number (no decimal), then it divides evenly and the original number is composite.
In this problem, only one option creates a composite number. Always test each choice systematically: 37 (prime), 47 (prime), 67 (prime), 77 (composite).
