Composite numbers are those numbers greater than 1, that have more than 2 factors. Your question is too ambiguous!
I don't completely agree with the words above. Composite numbers are all numbers that are not prime numbers. In other words, composite numbers are divisible by other numbers besides themselves and 1.
To find the number of factors in a composite number, put the number into prime factored form. For example, the number 24 in prime factored form is 2^3 X 3^1. To find the number of factors of 24, add the number 1 to each of the exponents and multiply their sums. The exponent of 2 is 3, and the exponent of 3 is 1, so (3+1)(1+1) = 4 X 2 = 8. There are eight factors of 24. They are: 1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24.
Here's my question: does anyone know the name or concept behind this algorithm, including more like them?
Thanks.

Is 999 a prime or composite number?
999 is a composite number. This is because composite numbers are any number that has more than two factors (one and itself). Therefore, since there are many factors of 999 besides one and itself such as 3, 9, and 27, that makes it a composite number.
What is an example of a composite number?
12 is a composite number. Its factors are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12. 4 is also a composite number. Its factors are 1, 2, and 4. Any number that has factors in addition to 1 and itself is a composite number.
Is 8 a composite or prime number?
composite number
Is a composite number times a composite number always composite?
Yes. To be composite, the first number has at least 2 prime factors, the second number also has at least prime factors; the product of the two will have at least 4 prime factors, so it must be a composite number.
How many factors does there have to be for a number to be composite?
There must be more than 2 factors for a number to be composite.
What is a whole number that has more than two factors?
A composite number has three or more factors.
How many factors in a composite number?
There r 5 composite #
Is 250 prime or composite?
Prime numbers have no factors other than the number itself and one. The number 250 has many factors, so it is a composite number.
Is 351 a prime number or a composite number?
351 is a composite number. This is because composite numbers are any number that has more than two factors (one and itself). Therefore, since there are many factors of 351 besides one and itself such as 3, 9, and 13, that makes it a composite number.
What are the prime factors of a composite prime number?
There is not such a thing as a composite prime number. A prime number has exactly two factors. A composite number has more than two factors.
What is a Number that has many factors?
A number that has more than two factors is a composite number whereas a number that has only two factors is a prime number.
A composite is a number that has only two factors?
No, a composite is a number that has more than two factors. A prime number has two factors.
Is 222 prime or composite?
Composite A prime number is a number that has only two factors (itself and one) A composite number is a number that has more than two factors.
Is 999 a prime or composite number?
999 is a composite number. This is because composite numbers are any number that has more than two factors (one and itself). Therefore, since there are many factors of 999 besides one and itself such as 3, 9, and 27, that makes it a composite number.
How do you get composite number?
If a number has more than two factors, it's composite.
Is zero a prime or composite number why?
Zero is a composite number because it appears to many factors and it appears to have alot of it's on factors. Even though when you times zero into something it is zero it is a composite number. (correct me if I am wrong please!:))
