🔍 Objective:

Identify which numbers are composite numbers between 1 and 100.

✔ What is a Composite Number?

A composite number is a positive integer greater than 1 that has at least one positive divisor other than 1 and itself. In other words, it's not a prime number and not 1.

So:
- Prime numbers: only divisible by 1 and themselves (e.g., 2, 3, 5, 7).
- Composite numbers: have more than two divisors (e.g., 4 = 2×2, 6 = 2×3).
- 1 is neither prime nor composite.

🧩 Step-by-step Analysis:

We can go through the numbers 1–100 and determine which ones are composite.

But instead of listing all, we can use the chart provided.

In the image:
- Blue-shaded cells represent composite numbers.
- White cells are either prime numbers or 1.

Let’s verify this pattern.

✔ Let's check a few examples:

| Number | Type | Reason |
|--------|--------------|------|
| 1 | Neither | Not composite |
| 2 | Prime | Only divisible by 1 and 2 |
| 3 | Prime | Divisible only by 1 and 3 |
| 4 | Composite | 2×2 → yes |
| 5 | Prime | Only divisible by 1 and 5 |
| 6 | Composite | 2×3 → yes |
| 7 | Prime | Only 1 and 7 |
| 8 | Composite | 2×4 → yes |
| 9 | Composite | 3×3 → yes |
| 10 | Composite | 2×5 → yes |

So far, the shading matches: 4, 6, 8, 9, 10 are blue → correct.

Now, check 11 → white → prime → correct
12 → blue → 12 = 2×6 → composite → correct

So the blue-shaded numbers are indeed composite numbers.

📌 Final Answer:

> The blue-shaded numbers in the grid are the composite numbers from 1 to 100.

There are 74 composite numbers between 1 and 100.

✔ How many composite numbers are there from 1 to 100?

Let’s calculate:

- Total numbers: 100
- Subtract:
- 1 → not composite
- Prime numbers between 1 and 100: There are 25 primes (2, 3, 5, 7, 11, ..., 97)

So:
$$
\text{Composite numbers} = 100 - 1 - 25 = 74
$$

✔ So, 74 composite numbers from 1 to 100.

---

✔ Conclusion:

- The blue-shaded numbers in the chart are the composite numbers.
- These are numbers greater than 1 that are not prime.
- There are 74 composite numbers between 1 and 100.
- Examples: 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, etc.
- Numbers like 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, ... are prime (white) — not composite.
- 1 is not composite (white).

✔ Summary:

> The task was to identify composite numbers from 1 to 100.
> The solution is: All blue-shaded numbers in the grid are composite numbers.
> There are 74 composite numbers between 1 and 100.
