clear check
neither prime nor composite composite prime has exactly 2 factors has less than 2 factors
has more than 2 factors
1 (two descriptions)
10 (two descriptions)
73 (two descriptions)

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze Number 1

A prime number has exactly 2 distinct positive factors (1 and itself), and a composite number has more than 2 distinct positive factors. The number 1 has only 1 factor (itself), so it is neither prime nor composite, and it has less than 2 factors.

Step2: Analyze Number 10

The factors of 10 are 1, 2, 5, 10. So it has more than 2 factors, which means it is composite.

Step3: Analyze Number 73

The factors of 73 are 1 and 73 (since 73 is a prime number). So it has exactly 2 factors, which means it is prime.

Answer:

• For 1: Neither Prime Nor Composite, Has Less Than 2 Factors
• For 10: Composite, Has More Than 2 Factors
• For 73: Prime, Has Exactly 2 Factors
