Activity 6.6. (a) A positive integer that is greater than 11 and not prime is called composite. Write a technical definition for the concept of composite number with a similar level of detail as in the “more complete” definition of prime number. Note. A number is called prime if its only divisors are 1 and itself. This definition has some hidden parts: a more complete definition would be as follows. A number is called prime if it is an integer,...

A natural number p is a prime number provided that the only integers dividing p are 1 and p itself. In fact, for p to be a prime number, it is the same as requiring that “For all integers x and y, if p divides xy, then p divides x or p divides y.” Use this property to show that “If p is a prime number, then √p is an irrational number.” Please write down a formal proof.
