What is the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic?

It states that every composite number can be expressed as a product of primes in a unique way. (correct)

It deals with the multiplication of positive integers.

It deals with the division of integers.

It states that any positive integer can be divided by another positive integer in such a way that it leaves a remainder smaller than the divisor.

What is the main purpose of Euclid's division algorithm?

To find the quotient and remainder when one positive integer is divided by another. (correct)

To determine whether a number is prime or composite.

To compute the GCD (Greatest Common Divisor) of two positive integers.

To generate a sequence of prime numbers.

What does the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic state about composite numbers?

They can be expressed as a product of primes in multiple ways.

They are only divisible by 1 and themselves.

They can be expressed as a product of primes in a unique way. (correct)

They can only be divided by even numbers.
