Required
Select the composite number
A composite number is such that: they have more than 2 factors
Factorizing each of the given numbers, we have:
[tex](a)\ 3 = 1 * 3[/tex]
[tex](b)\ 23 = 1 * 23[/tex]
[tex](c)\ 29 = 1 * 29[/tex]
[tex](d)\ 41 = 1 * 41\\[/tex]
[tex](e)\ 87 = 1 * 3 * 29[/tex]
Only (e) has more than 2 factors. Hence (e) is composite
