Picture
an architectural dreamscape
with the safest streets
in the state
of Maryland
This is true for both sides
of Buzzword Boulevard
The Maga family
lived across from
the multi-generational
DumpTrumpers
with their limping
grandfathers
Opposite the well-respected
Conz family
resided the Prose
who were new
to the neighborhood
(or was it the other way around)
The Prime Movers
lived across from
the Composite Numbers
But everyone asked
the same question:
Who the hell are
the Composite Numbers?

ReplyDeleteA counting number is called "prime" if it is divisible
only by itself and the number 1
In other words, its only factors
are itself and 1.
All even numbers greater than 2 are NOT prime
All numbers ending in 5 but greater than 5 are NOT prime
If a counting number is NOT prime
it is called a Composite Number
And I feel culturally privileged to inform you
that 37 is the largest prime factor of 666
because 2x3x6x37 = 666
Otherwise, it is a composite
