Question

Construct a Turing machine that accepts the language of strings of the form an, where n
is a composite number. A composite number is any integer n that can be written as a product n = p ·q,
where p and q are integers with 1 < p, q < n. Specifically for the purpose of this question, 0 and 1 are not
considered composite numbers.
Your machine can be non-deterministic, and it can use multiple tapes (as many as you need). I suggest
breaking up the construction into smaller sub-tasks. In particular, the machine you built in Question 3
might be useful.
For this question, it is enough to give a detailed description of the algorithm of your machine. You do
not need to draw a full transition diagram. Although you can draw diagrams for smaller parts if it helps
you illustrate your construction.

Question 4. Construct a Turing machine that accepts the language of strings of the form a", where n
is a composite number. A composite number is any integer n that can be written as a product n = p. q,
where p and q are integers with 1 < p,q < n. Specifically for the purpose of this question, 0 and 1 are not
