No.
For example, 8 has 4 factors (1, 2, 4 and 8) but 9 has only 3 (1, 3 and 9).
If you mean the product, that's by definition. A composite number has smaller factors. If you multiply two positive integers, none of which is 1, together, then it follows that the product has smaller factors - namely, the numbers you multiplied together.
the two prime numbers will be factors of that number, which would make that number a composite number
The least common factor for two numbers is always one. The least common multiple for two numbers which have no common factors greater than one is their product.
No. If you multiply any numbers, those numbers are factors of whatever product you get. Therefore, this product is a composite number; it has atleast the two factors you multiplyed before. Compposite numbers are never prime. If the two factors above were prime, you would still end up with a composite number. For example: 3 times 5 equals 15. The factors of 15 are 1, 3, 5, and 15. 15 is composite. 7 time 51 equals 357. The factors of 357 are 1, 7, 51, and 357. 357 is composite.
Yes. A composite number will have 1 and itself as factors, as well as the prime numbers and possibly multiples of those prime numbers that can be multiplied together to obtain the composite number. Examples: There are three factors of 4: 1, 2, and 4. There are four factors of 6: 1, 2, 3, and 6. There are six factors of 20: 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, and 20.
It is 16 because a composite number always has more than 2 factors
No not always because composite numbers can be the product of 2 or more prime factors
All numbers greater than 1 have at least two factors. That is because the number can always divide by 1 and itself. If a number has only 2 factors, it is called a prime number. Otherwise, it is called a composite number.
Not always but on average, yes.

First, you have to know the difference between Prime Numbers and Composite Numbers. Prime Numbers are numbers that has only two factors: 1 and itself. Composite Numbers are numbers that have factors other than 1 and itself. Composite numbers are always even, with only one exception: number 2. Two is the ONLY EVEN PRIME NUMBER. Never will you encounter another even prime number because it will always have AT LEAST 3 factors. # ITSELF. # ONE. # TWO. Now that we know the difference between Prime and Composite, we can answer your question. 4,567,278 is an even number. It is divisible by itself, one, two and probably more numbers. Therefore, it is COMPOSITE!

No, not all numbers ending in 2 are composite. However, if a number ends in 2 and is greater than 2, it is always even and therefore not prime.
The product will be greater than 1, when each of the two factors are greater than 1.
