300

What is a prime number?

A prime number is a number that only has 2 factors (1 and itself)

300

Is 82 a prime number, composite number, or neither?

The number 82 is composite because it has more factors than 1 and itself. The number 82 ends in a 2, which means it is an even number and is divisible by 2. (There are more factors, but that's the most obvious one).

Factors of 82: 1,2,41,82

2 * 33

400

Why is 8sometimes called 8 squared?

Where does the word squared come from?

Any number with the exponent of 2 can be referred to as a number squared because multiplying a number times itself will always create a square where the area is equal to the power. 


500

What is the term 63 called?

The term 6is called a power

500

Is 63 a prime number, composite number, or neither?

The number 63 is a composite number because it has more factors than 1 and 63. 

You can tell by checking divisibility of 3. (The trick: add the digits in the number together 6+3=9. If 3 can divide the sum, it can divide the whole number.) Since 9 is divisible by 3, 63 is too and that means tat 3 is another factor!
