well, it's not 999 because that's odd ... can't see why it wouldn't be 998, which is the greatest even three-digit number, and since all even numbers besides 2 are composite, it must also be the greatest three-digit composite even number

∙ 6y agoALL even numbers (except 2 itself) are composite, so you don't need to worry about the number being composite or not.For "the greatest" number that fulfills some property, it often helps to insert the largest possible digit, from left to right.
First digit: use a 9
Second digit: use a 9
Third digit: Can't use a 9, since that would make it odd. Use an 8 instead.
