If a number has any more factors besides itself and ' 1 ', then it's composite.

Let's dig into 72 :

The factors of 72 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, and 72 .

I guess it's composite.

The factors of 72 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, and 72. Therefore, 72 is a composite number. A Prime number is a number that is divisible only by 1 and itself; it has no other factors. A composite number is a number that is divisible by more than two numbers.
