A number is called a staircase composite number when it has three prime factors that have different sized digits: the first is one digit, the second is two digits and the third is three digits. For example: [7] [41] [271] x 77 777 77 777 would be the staircase composite number.
891 is a composite number. Its factors are 1, 3, 9, 11, 27, 33, 81, 99, 297, and 891. An easy check for some numbers greater than 3 is by adding their digits. If the sum of the digits is 3 or a multiple of 3, the number is a composite. The digits of 891 add up to 18, which is a multiple of 3.
Composite. 222111 has 9 as one of its factors [sum of its digits adds up to 9]. A Prime Number has only two factors : 1 and itself. Since this has at least one additional factor, it is composite.

147 has factors other than 1 and itself, so it is not a prime number. For example, 147 is divisible by 3. (You can quickly check this by adding up the digits of 147: 1 + 4 + 7 = 12. If the sum of the digits is divisible by 3, so is the number.) Therefore, 147 is a composite number.
not a prime number as itβs divisible by 1, 63, 3, and 21
It would probably refer to a digit that is a prime number, or a composite number. Note that mathematicians normally talk about prime and composite NUMBERS, not individual digits.
A prime number is a number with two and only two factors: 1 (also known as unity) and itself. A composite number is a number with more than two factors; in other words, it has at least one factor besides 1 and itself. 186 has factors other than 1 and itself, so it is not a prime number. For example, it is divisible by 3. (You can check this by adding the digits of the number: 1 + 8 + 6 = 15. If the sum of the digits is divisible by 3, the number is also divisible by 3.) Also, it is an even number and thus divisible by 2. Therefore, 186 is a composite number.
