Let's solve this step by step. The task is to:
1.
List all the factors of each number.
2.
Determine if the number is prime or composite.
---
🔹 Definitions:
- A
prime number has
exactly two factors: 1 and itself.
- A
composite number has
more than two factors.
---
Now, let’s go through each number:
---
1) 8
-
Factors: 1, 2, 4, 8
(Because: 1×8=8, 2×4=8)
-
Number of factors: 4 → more than 2
-
✔ Composite
---
2) 25
-
Factors: 1, 5, 25
(Because: 1×25=25, 5×5=25)
-
Number of factors: 3 → more than 2
-
✔ Composite
---
3) 21
-
Factors: 1, 3, 7, 21
(Because: 1×21=21, 3×7=21)
-
Number of factors: 4 → more than 2
-
✔ Composite
---
4) 30
-
Factors: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30
(Because: 1×30, 2×15, 3×10, 5×6)
-
Number of factors: 8 → more than 2
-
✔ Composite
---
5) 5
-
Factors: 1, 5
(Only divisible by 1 and itself)
-
Number of factors: 2 → exactly two
-
✔ Prime
---
6) 48
-
Factors: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48
(Check pairs: 1×48, 2×24, 3×16, 4×12, 6×8)
-
Number of factors: 10 → more than 2
-
✔ Composite
---
7) 19
-
Factors: 1, 19
(No other numbers divide evenly into 19)
-
Number of factors: 2 → exactly two
-
✔ Prime
---
8) 12
-
Factors: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12
(1×12, 2×6, 3×4)
-
Number of factors: 6 → more than 2
-
✔ Composite
---
✔ Final Answers:
| Number | Factors | Prime or Composite? |
|--------|-------------------------------------|----------------------|
| 1) 8 | 1, 2, 4, 8 | Composite |
| 2) 25 | 1, 5, 25 | Composite |
| 3) 21 | 1, 3, 7, 21 | Composite |
| 4) 30 | 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30 | Composite |
| 5) 5 | 1, 5 | Prime |
| 6) 48 | 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48 | Composite |
| 7) 19 | 1, 19 | Prime |
| 8) 12 | 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12 | Composite |
