The product of two numbers is prime only if the numbers are 1 and the number itself. For example:

1 x 2 = 2.

1 x 37 = 37

If the factors are any numbers besides 1 and the number itself, the number is a composite number.

Is even number times even number always even?

Yes, it is. Any whole number times an even number will be even. This is because whole numbers can be represented as the product of their prime factors. Every even number contains 2 as a prime factor (thereby excluding all even numbers above 2 from being prime.) Additionally, the product of any two numbers is equal to the product of their prime factors. This means that the result of multiplying an even number by a whole number will always have a prime factor of 2, making it an even number.
