Prime and Composite Numbers

Description

Divisor: The number that divides the dividend to arrive at the quotient. If there is no remainder, the divisor is a factor of the dividend. For example, divisors of 24 include 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24. The concept of divisors directly relates to understanding factors, which are essential in identifying primes and composites.

The mathematics behind this topic provides a foundation for understanding how numbers interact with one another. By exploring the patterns and properties of prime and composite numbers, students can develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

Teacher's Script: Let’s explore an important concept that involves classifying numbers based on their factors. This concept will help us understand how numbers are built and how they can be broken down into their basic building blocks. Pay attention to the visuals and explanations to see how these ideas connect to everyday math!
