Answer:

If a number does not have exactly two distinct factors, then the number is not prime.

Step-by-step explanation:

In an inverse statement, both the hypothesis and conclusion are negated. So, "If A. then B" turns into "If not A, then not B."

If you the conditional is already negated, then you would turn it positive.

Hope it helps! :)
