No. The first odd number, counting up from one, that is not a prime number, is 9.
How can you determine whether a counting number is a composite number?
Start looking for factors; you already know that 1 is a factor, and that the number itself is a second factor (unless the number is 1). As soon as you find a factor that is neither 1 nor the number itself, the number is composite. If you find exactly two factors, the number is prime. If the number has only one factor, the number is 1, which is neither prime nor composite.
Is the number 1 composite or prime and why?
1 is neither a prime nor a composite number because it has only one factor (itself (1)). The definition of a prime number is a number that has the factor of one and itself, so one is not prime. The definition of a composite number is a number that has more than 2 factors, so one is not composite. One is a special number.
