One needs the composite number before he can find its factors. Thus the solution I shall give is ∞.
When a composite number is expressed as a product of its prime factors, the prime factorization of the composite number has been performed.
composite number
A prime number is a number that is divisible only by 1 and itself; it has no other factors. A composite number is a number that is divisible by more than 2 numbers. The factors of 94 are 1, 2, 47, and 94. Therefore, 94 is a composite number.
First of all, every number is a factor - of its multiples.There is no general way to distinguish between prime and composite numbers. At one level, though, there are some simple ways. If the number is not 2, but ends in 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8 then it is a composite, If the number is not 5 but ends in 0 or 5 it is composite. If the number is not 3 but the sum of all the digits of a number is 3 or divisible by 3, then it is composite. There are moderately complicated divisibility rules for 7 and 11. But this method does not identify all composite numbers and there is no guaranteed method.

When you are finding common factors, one method is to list the factors.
Asking a multiple choice question without providing the choices doesn't really seem fair.

There is no such number. All numbers have a common factor of 1, which is neither prime nor composite. Any composite number can be reduced to its prime factors.
All numbers have factors. Some factors are prime numbers, some are composite numbers. A factor that is a composite number is a composite factor.
Not to overstate the obvious, but factor lists are lists of factors. Once you have found all the factors of a number, it is customary to list them from least to greatest.
No because all of a prime numbers factors are 1 and itself. therefore it cannot have composite factors
The prime factorization.
composite number
All composite numbers have more than two factors whereas prime numbers have only two factors
A composite factor is a factor that is a composite number, as opposed to a prime factor which is a factor that is a prime number.
