What is the difference between a prime number and a complex number?

Asked by FilibertoSones31

Answer (3)

"Prime"and "complex"are not opposites. If a number is a prime, then it has exactly two factors ... ' 1 ' and itself. If it has any more factors, then it's not a prime number, it's a "COMPOSITE" number.
(If a number is not a 'complex' number, then it's a REAL number. )

Prime numbers are natural numbers greater than 1 with exactly two factors, while complex numbers include a real part and an imaginary part in the form z = a + bi . Prime numbers are specific to number theory, while complex numbers are used in various branches of mathematics. Understanding both concepts is essential in higher mathematics.
