Composite numbers are distinct from prime numbers, but not completely opposite.
The opposite of prime numbers are composite numbers.
The 'opposite' status of a number that is not prime is a composite number.Except for 0 and 1, all numbers that are not prime (i.e. they are multiples of other numbers) are called composite numbers.The opposite of a prime number would be a number that is not prime. Almost all numbers that are not prime are composite numbers. A prime number is a number that has exactly two factors. A composite number has more than two factors. However, composite numbers do not include all numbers that are not prime. The number 1 has only one factor, so it is neither prime nor composite - it is unity.
Prime numbers are numbers that have only 2 factors, 1 and it's self. Composite numbers are the opposite, they have 3 or more factors.
The product of two prime numbers will be composite.
Composite numbers have more than two factors. So, the numbers which have two or less than two factors are not composite numbers. Numbers which have exactly two factors are prime numbers. 1 is an exceptional case because it is neither prime nor composite since it has only one factor which is 1.

Not at all. The definition of a composite number is one that has more than two factors - the exact opposite of a prime.
The relationship between prime numbers and composite numbers is that they are antonyms or opposites of each other. A natural number, is either prime or composite, but it can not be both. Prime numbers have only two factors, one and itself. Composite numbers are whole numbers that are not prime numbers, which means that they have factors other than one and itself.
You may be thinking of composite numbers. I wouldn't consider them opposite so much as complementary.

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.
Prime factorization never includes a composite number. All numbers in prime factorization must be prime numbers.
