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.
42 is composite; its factors are 2, 3, and 7. 42 is indeed a composite number and its factors are not only 2,3, and 7, but they are all 1,2,3,6,7,42.

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.
No because all of a prime numbers factors are 1 and itself. therefore it cannot have composite factors
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.
All composite numbers have more than two factors whereas prime numbers have only two factors
The prime factorization.
composite number
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.
