A Prime number is a number with two and only two factors: 1 (also known as unity) and itself. A composite number is a number with more than two factors; in other words, it has at least one factor besides 1 and itself. 49 has factors other than 1 and itself, so it is not a prime number. For example, it is divisible by 7. Therefore, 49 is a composite number.

49 is a composite number. Composite numbers are any number that has more than two factors(one and itself). Therefore, since 7 is a factor of 49 that makes it a composite number.

49 is not prime. 49 = 7 * 7

49 is a composite number as 7x7=49. A number is said to be a prime number if it only has two factors that is 1 or the number itself.
