Q. The coach of a baseball team separates the players into groups for the drills. Each group has the same number of players. Is the total number of players prime or composite, explain.

Question

-
A. They really don't say the number in the book, but i would have to say composite, since the groups are probably even and they have the same amount of players. It is not prime because prime is usually odd numbers, and the groups are split evenly, so it would be composite.

Am i correct?

Answer 1

Sort of, but murkily.

Since the players can be divided into groups of more than one player each, the size of the groups is a divisor of the number of players. So, not prime.

Answer 2

Well it would be prime because the team would evenly be divided by 2 witch is prime but 2 is 2 so if it was to be 2 teams then yes it would be divided by 2 so prime.
