1 answer

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.
