What is the opposite of a prime number?
The 'opposite' status of a number that is not prime is a composite number.Except for 0 and 1, all numbers that are not prime (i.e. they are multiples of other numbers) are called composite numbers.The opposite of a prime number would be a number that is not prime. Almost all numbers that are not prime are composite numbers. A prime number is a number that has exactly two factors. A composite number has more than two factors. However, composite numbers do not include all numbers that are not prime. The number 1 has only one factor, so it is neither prime nor composite - it is unity.
