What is a composite number?
  • 2 answers

Yogita Ingle 4 years, 11 months ago

In Mathematics, Composite numbers are the numbers which have more than two factors, unlike prime numbers which have only two factors, i.e. 1 and the number itself. These numbers are also called composites

All the natural numbers which are not prime numbers are composite numbers as they can be divided by more than two numbers. For example, 6 is composite because it is divisible by 1, 2, 3 and even 6, such as:

  • 6÷1 = 6
  • 6÷2 = 3
  • 6÷3 = 2
  • 6÷6 = 1
