96 is a composite number because it has more than two factors. 96 is divisible by 2, 4, 1, 96 etc. which clearly shows that it has more than two factors.

In order to show that a number is composite there is no need to find its all factors, we have to show only that it has more than two factors.

96 has factors other than 1 and itself, so it is not a prime number. For example, 96 is 8 x 12, so it is a composite number.
