By factoring them. Prime numbers have only two factors. Composite numbers have three or more.
The product of two prime numbers will be composite.
Products of prime numbers are composite numbers.
The opposite of prime numbers are 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.
All numbers that only have one and itself as factors are prime. Therefore, to tell if a number is prime simply find it's factors. If it has more than two factors than it is not a prime number, otherwise it is composite.
There are more composite numbers than prime numbers, but there is no prime or composite number so great that you can't find a greater one of either kind.
Prime numbers are used to find the product of the prime factors of composite numbers.

No. Prime numbers cannot be composite and composite numbers cannot be prime!
No, prime factorizations consist entirely of prime numbers.
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.
The product of two prime numbers will be composite.
Prime numbers can not composite as - Prime number has only 2 factors whereas composite have more than 2
Factor it. Prime numbers have two factors, composite numbers have more than two.
Composite numbers have more than two factors whereas prime numbers have only two factors.
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.
