Look up a table of prime numbers. All those numbers that are not prime, are composite - except 1, which is neither prime nor composite.
So the composite numbers won't get all bunched up.
Look up a list of prime numbers (a Google search for "prime numbers" or "list of prime numbers" should do); every number (greater than 1) that is NOT a prime number is composite.
Not necessarily. For example 15 and 16 are composite numbers. They add to 31, which is a prime number. Similarly, the composite numbers 20 and 21 add up to 41, which is a prime number.

To distinguish them from prime numbers. Composite means "made up of various parts or elements." Prime numbers have one and only one factor pair. Composite numbers have a various number of factor pairs, but always more than one.
A composite number is made up of a product of prime numbers. It might be considered a non-prime number.
24 is composite because it can factored or split up as 24 = 3 * 8 for example. Prime numbers, such as 23, can not be split into factors.
The first two prime numbers add up to another prime number.
Integers greater than 1, that are not prime numbers, are called composite numbers, because they are "made up of" more than one prime factor.
You could try dividing by composite numbers but the number that you are testing is divisible by a composite number, then it will be divisible by a prime factor of that composite number and that prime factor will be smaller. It is always easier to work with smaller numbers.
You may mean: 3 and 5 are prime numbers that add up to the composite number of 8
