This means it cannot be divided evenly by any other number. On the other hand, a <strong>composite number<\/strong> has more than two factors \u2014 it can be divided by numbers other than 1 and itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s evaluate the numbers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>99<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To check if 99 is a prime number, try dividing it by smaller prime numbers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>99 \u00f7 2 = 49.5 (not divisible)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>99 \u00f7 3 = 33 (divisible)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>99 \u00f7 11 = 9 (divisible)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Since 99 has factors such as 3, 9, 11, and 33, it is <strong>not prime<\/strong>. It is <strong>composite<\/strong> because it has more than two factors: 1, 3, 9, 11, 33, and 99.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>91<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, test 91 by dividing it by smaller primes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>91 \u00f7 2 = 45.5 (not divisible)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>91 \u00f7 3 = 30.33 (not divisible)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>91 \u00f7 5 = 18.2 (not divisible)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>91 \u00f7 7 = 13 (divisible)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Since 91 \u00f7 7 = 13, and both 7 and 13 are factors of 91, it is <strong>not prime<\/strong>. It is <strong>composite<\/strong> because it can be divided evenly by numbers other than 1 and itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Both 99 and 91 are composite numbers. They are not prime because they have more than two factors. Recognizing whether a number is prime or composite helps in simplifying fractions, finding greatest common divisors, and performing prime factorization, which are useful in many areas of mathematics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>which of the following number are prime or composite or 99 91 The correct answer and explanation is: Answer: Explanation: A prime number is a natural number greater than 1 that has exactly two distinct positive divisors: 1 and itself.
