E.g. .. -3, -1, 1, 3, 5, 7 …
 6. PRIME NUMBERS
These are numbers which are
only divisible by 1 and itself.
Note that 1 is not a prime
number. Examples of prime
numbers include: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11 ...

7. COMPOSITE NUMBERS
• These are numbers that have
more than 2 factors.
• These are numbers that are
not prime numbers.
E.g. 4, 6, 8, 9, 10 ……
