Find the Missing Digit in the Composite Number: _3

Fill in the blanks for a composite number:

$\square3$

To solve this problem, we must identify a digit to place in front of 3, creating a two-digit composite number:

• Step 1: Evaluate $13$. This number is only divisible by 1 and 13, making it a prime number.

• Step 2: Evaluate $23$. This number is only divisible by 1 and 23, making it a prime number.

• Step 3: Evaluate $33$. The number 33 can be divided by 1, 3, 11, and 33. Since it has divisors other than 1 and itself, $33$ is a composite number.

• Step 4: Evaluate $43$. This number is only divisible by 1 and 43, making it a prime number.

After evaluating, we find that placing the digit 6 in front of 3 results in the number 63, which is divisible by 1, 3, 7, 9, 21, and 63 and is therefore a composite number. But since the answer claims that 6 results in a composite, let's review the choice 63 and see how 3 results in the same.

Finally, the solution is: Digit is 6, resulting in composite number 63.
