Are there any prime number divisible by 3?

But if a number is divisible only by itself and by 1, then it is prime. So, because all the other even numbers are divisible by themselves, by 1, and by 2, they are all composite (just as all the positive multiples of 3, except 3, itself, are composite).

Is there more composite numbers then prime and why?

Sieves of Eratosthenes is a good way to understand why: For example: Write down all numbers from 1 to 100 2 is prime, so all its multiple are composite, all even numbers except 2 are composite, so erase them. Half of the numbers are already erased 3 is prime, so all its multiple are composite, so erase them. A bit less than one third of the remaining number are erased (multiples of 6 have already been erased) 5 is prime, so all its multiple are composite, so erase them.... and so on with 7 and 11.... Each time a prime number is found all its multiples are to be erased from the list. Thus there are more composite numbers (erased ones) than primes.
