It's videos like this one from YouTube user Numberphile that make us mortals realize why mathematicians view math as art, or perhaps as power. Highly composite numbers—numbers that have more divisible ...

CAT Quantitative Ability has questions on Composite Number. We know that every natural number greater than 1 can be written as a product of primes. The factorization is unique upto the order in which ...

In May 2013, the mathematician Yitang Zhang launched what has proven to be a banner year and a half for the study of prime numbers, those numbers that aren’t divisible by any smaller number except 1.

Digitally delicate prime numbers become composite with this one weird trick. Math researchers proved these primes exist using the bucket proof method. There are no known examples so far, but ...

A year after tackling how close together prime number pairs can stay, mathematicians have now made the first major advance in 76 years in understanding how far apart primes can be. Now, mathematicians ...
