The answer is 8. The equation is 10x-2=78. Add 2 to both sides so that the equation is 10x=80. Then divide by 10 to get x by itself. You are left with x=8.

Well, isn't that a happy little question! "Fewer than 2" simply means you have less than 2 of something. It could be 1, 0.5, or even a fraction like 1/2. Just imagine a small group of happy little numbers, and you're right there with fewer than 2.
Composite numbers have more than two factors. Everything else (zero, one and prime numbers) has two or fewer.
