12 is a composite number. 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. Since 12 is an even number, it is also divisible by 2, which means it has more than two factors, which in turn means it is a composite number.
