Called a composite number.
A composite number is a number that has more divisors than 1 and itself.
A prime number has only 2 divisors, 1 and itself. Any number with more than two divisors is a composite number. Composite numbers are made up of primes. Because of that, we can think of primes as the building blocks of composite numbers - just as we think of letters as the building blocks of words. For example, 3 is prime since its only divisors are 1 and 3. Now look at 6; it can be written as 2 x 3 so it has divisors, 1, 2, 3, and 6.A prime number is a positive integer with two factors: one and the number itself.A composite number is a positive integer with more than two factors.
All primes have two positive divisors. There are only two integers that are neither composite or prime and they are 1 and 0. The number 1 has only 1 positive divisor, itself. The number 0 has an infinite number of divisors.
A prime number is a natural number that has exactly two distinct natural number divisors: 1 and itself. A composite number is a positive integer which has a positive divisor other than one or itself.
