OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its neither

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its composite tho , right or wrong ?

OpenStudy (turingtest):

all it is a multiple of whole primes, so that makes it composite

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks , i thought that . but 2nd guessed myself

OpenStudy (turingtest):

nice tip on identifying divisibility by 3: if you add the digits of a number and the result is divisible by 3, then the number is divisible by 3 63->6+3=9 is divisible by 3 so the number is divisible by 3 so it's composite :)
