What is the least counting number that could be the first of 10 or more consecutive composite?

In other words, we require a sequence of consecutive numbers none of which are prime.
This can be guaranteed if we obtain (10 + 1)! = 39916800
Then clearly, 39916800 + 2 is divisible by 2, 39916800 + 3 is divisible by 3, and so on to 39916800 + 11 is divisible by 11.
Consequently, all ten numbers from 39916802 - 39916811 are composite.

To find a composite number why divide by prime numbers?
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.
What is a whole number that is not a counting number?
The answer will depend on the exact definition of both "whole number" and "counting number" as both terms are potentially open to different interpretations. For example, a counting number could be defined as all the positive integers, e.g. 1,2,3,4 etc... A whole number could be defined as all the non negative integers, e.g. 0,1,2,3,4 etc.. In which case the answer would be 0. However, it could be argued that counting numbers include 0, making the above answer invalid. Equally it could be argued that whole numbers include the negative integers, in which case the answer would include any negative whole number.
