Describe how to decide if 94 is a prime or composite number.

To determine if 94 is a prime or composite number, follow these steps:

1. **Check divisibility by 2**: Since 94 is an even number, it is divisible by 2. This means 94 is not a prime number.

2. **Verify composite status**: A composite number has divisors other than 1 and itself. Since 94 is divisible by 2, it is a composite number.

Therefore, 94 is a composite number because it can be divided evenly by 2.

Answer :

To determine if 94 is a prime or composite number, check if it can be divided by any prime numbers less than its square root.

To determine whether 94 is a prime or composite number, follow these steps:

  1. Understand the Definitions: A prime number is a number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself. A composite number is a number greater than 1 that has more than two positive divisors.
  2. Check for Divisibility: Start by checking if 94 can be divided without leaving a remainder by any prime numbers less than or equal to the square root of 94. The square root of 94 is approximately 9.7, so we need to check divisibility by 2, 3, 5, and 7.
  3. Divisibility by 2: Since 94 is an even number, it is divisible by 2 (94 ÷ 2 = 47).
  4. Conclusion: Because 94 can be divided by 2 (other than 1 and itself), it has more than two divisors and is therefore a composite number.

Hello there!

94 is a composite number. Please keep in mind that if a number is even, then it is composite. However, if a number is composite, then it's either even or odd.

That's one way of determining whether a number is prime or composite.

Hope this helps!
