PRIME AND COMPOSITE NUMBERS WORKSHEETS

Prime and composite numbers are foundational concepts in mathematics, playing a significant role in various mathematical problems, cryptography, and computer science. A prime number is a natural number greater than 1 that has exactly two distinct positive divisors: 1 and itself. A composite number is a natural number greater than 1 that is not prime, meaning it has more than two distinct positive divisors.

Prime numbers have only two positive divisors, whereas composite numbers have more than two positive divisors.

Prime and Composite Numbers Worksheets

Prime/Composite Charts

Prime numbers are those that have only two divisors, while composite numbers have more than two divisors.

Color Prime/Composite

Let’s color prime numbers in one color (e.g., green) and composite numbers in another color (e.g., blue)

Circle Prime/Composite

By representing prime and composite numbers in circles, we can visually distinguish between the two categories and observe the patterns.
