Discover the building blocks of all composite numbers through interactive visual exploration
Real numbers include both rational numbers (fractions like 1/2, 3/4) and irrational numbers (like √2, π) that fill the entire number line without gaps.
Prime numbers are the fundamental building blocks - numbers greater than 1 that can only be divided by 1 and themselves. They're like mathematical atoms!
Every composite number can be broken down into prime factors using factor trees. It's like finding the DNA of numbers!
Just as primes break numbers down, we can multiply primes together to build composite numbers. It's mathematical construction!
