10 is a composite number because it has factors other than 1 and itself. Specifically, it is an even number greater than 2, which means it has 2 as a factor.
All even numbers (except for the number 2) are composite.

A Prime number has only 2 factors which are 1 and itself. Composite numbers are everything else except 1 and 0. 1 and 0 are neither prime, nor composite. -10 is neither because it must be positive.

Yes, because in addition to ' 1 ' and itself, it has at least one more factor.

The factors of 10 are: 1, 2, 5, and 10.
