Question

Identify the number classified as composite.
67
37
47
27

Answer 1

A composite number is a positive integer that has at least one positive divisor other than one or itself; in other words, it has more than two distinct positive divisors.

Now, let's check each of the provided numbers:

- **67**: This number is a prime number because it has no divisors other than 1 and 67.
- **37**: This number is also a prime number because it has no divisors other than 1 and 37.
- **47**: This number is a prime number because it has no divisors other than 1 and 47.
- **27**: This number is a composite number because it can be divided by 1, 3, 9, and 27 (its divisors are 1, 3, 9, and 27).

Therefore, the number classified as composite is **27**.
