A Prime number states that the only things that can multiply to get to that number are 1 and that number. In this case, only 1 and 7 multiply together to get 7.

A prime number has only 2 factors which are 1 and itself. Composite numbers are everything else except 1 and 0. 1 and 0 are neither prime, nor composite.
