Yes.
Actually it is composite numbers that are used - products of two very large primes.
You can use prime numbers to factorize numbers, a very useful tool

No. Prime numbers cannot be composite and composite numbers cannot be prime!
1 is special 2 prime 3 prime 4 composite 5 prime 6 composite 7 prime 8 composite 9 composite 10 composite 11 prime 12 composite ext.
No, prime factorizations consist entirely of prime numbers.
Prime numbers can not composite as - Prime number has only 2 factors whereas composite have more than 2
The product of two prime numbers will be composite.
Yes, there is an infinite amount of prime numbers. This has been proven by the ancient Greek mathematician Euclid. As for composite numbers, since there are infinitely many natural numbers, there must also be an infinite amount of composite numbers, as they are all the natural numbers that are not prime.
Numbers other than prime prime numbers are composite numbers. Only whole numbers should be considered for prime & composite numbers. However, '1' is an exceptional case because it is neither prime nor composite.
Prime factorization never includes a composite number. All numbers in prime factorization must be prime numbers.
0 is neither a prime or a composite number. It can not be divided by any number, so it would be difficult to classify it as prime or composite. 0 and 1 are the only numbers that are not prime and are not composite.
