🔍 Understanding Prime and Composite Numbers:
- A
prime number is a number greater than 1 that has
only two factors: 1 and itself.
- A
composite number is a number greater than 1 that has
more than two factors (i.e., it can be divided evenly by numbers other than 1 and itself).

- Check divisibility: Not divisible by 2, 3, 5, 7 (primes less than √97 ≈ 9.8)
- Only factors: 1 and 97 →
Prime
10.
83
- Check divisibility: Not divisible by 2, 3, 5, 7 (primes < √83 ≈ 9.1)
- Only factors: 1 and 83 →
Prime
11.
38
- Even number → divisible by 2
- 38 ÷ 2 = 19 → factors: 1, 2, 19, 38 →
Composite
12.
12
- Divisible by 2, 3, 4, 6 → many factors →
Composite
13.
66
- Even → divisible by 2
- Also divisible by 3, 6, 11, etc. → multiple factors →
Composite
14.
3
- Only divisible by 1 and 3 →
Prime
