Question

The number 40 cannot be decomposed into prime factors

True
either
False​

Answer 1

Answer: False

Explanation:

All whole numbers can be decomposed into prime factors. For the number 40, the prime factorization would be
`2 * 2 * 2*5`. Since all 4 of those numbers are prime numbers, the answer is false.

False, because the number 40 is a composite number, those that cannot be broken down are called Prime Numbers.

Prime numbers are numbers that are used to decompose any number, but prime numbers cannot be decomposed, since they only have two Divisors, which are 1 and itself.
