No --primes and composites are not the same. In fact they are mutually exclusive concepts. A Prime number is a number other than one that can only be divided by itself and one.
Examples are 2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19. (There are infinitely many more)
A composite is a number with a divisor other than itself and one.
Examples are 4 ( 2 is a divisor), 6 ( 3 and 2 are divisors),15 ( 3 and 5 are divisors).
Every (positive whole) number is either prime or composite,
One is special- neither prime nor composite.
Prime - Divided only by 1 and itself.
Composite - can be divided by a number other than one and itself.

What is the same between prime and composite numbers?
A prime number has only 2 factors which are 1 and itself. Composite numbers are everything else, except 1 and 0. 1 and 0 are neither prime, nor composite. So 'what is the same', is that both prime and composite numbers have 1 as a factor, and itself as a factor.
Is the product of two prime numbers composite or prime?
The product of two prime numbers will be composite.
Which numbers are not composite numbers?
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.
What are the opposite of prime numbers?

What are products of prime numbers?
Products of prime numbers are composite numbers.
What is the same thing about composite and prime numbers?
They are whole numbers.
What is the same between prime and composite numbers?
A prime number has only 2 factors which are 1 and itself. Composite numbers are everything else, except 1 and 0. 1 and 0 are neither prime, nor composite. So 'what is the same', is that both prime and composite numbers have 1 as a factor, and itself as a factor.
Are prime numbers greater than 2 composite?
No. Prime numbers cannot be composite and composite numbers cannot be prime!
Which numbers are prime numbers and which are composite numbers from 1 to 100?
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.
Does prime factorization of composite numbers include prime and composite numbers?
No, prime factorizations consist entirely of prime numbers.
Is it true that prime numbers have to be prime and composite?
Prime numbers can not composite as - Prime number has only 2 factors whereas composite have more than 2
Is the product of two prime numbers composite or prime?
The product of two prime numbers will be composite.
Does the prime factorization of any composite number include prime and composite numbers?
Prime factorization never includes a composite number. All numbers in prime factorization must be prime numbers.
What is the name for the numbers that are not prime numbers?
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.
Are there more composite or prime numbers?
there are more composite numbers the prime becuz more things can be divided into
What numbers are prime numbers and what numbers are composite?
Prime numbers have two factors, composite numbers have more than two.
