Best Answer

No, a number greater than 1 with exactly two factors (1 and itself) is a prime number.

The first few prime numbers are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11.

A composite number has more than two different factors, for example:

4 (has factors 1, 2, 4), 6 (has factors 1, 2, 3, 6), 8 (has factors 1, 2, 4, 8), 9 (has factors 1, 3, 9).
