A Prime number has only 2 factors which are 1 and itself. Composite numbers are everything else except 1 and 0. 1 and 0 are neither prime, nor composite.

Composite numbers vs prime numbers?
A composite number is a natural number that can be divided into smaller factors (which are also natural numbers). For example, 6 = 2 x 3. A prime number is an integer (greater than 1) that cannot be separated into smaller factors. For example, 7 can't be divided into smaller factors.
How do you calculate minutes vs hours?
To convert minutes to hours, divide the number of minutes by 60. Multiply the number of hours by 60 to convert hours to minutes.
Is 4.5 bigger then 4.27?
Yes, 4.5 is bigger than 4.27. When comparing two numbers, you look at the digits from left to right. The first digit where they differ determines which number is larger. In this case, 4.5 has a larger first digit (4.5 vs. 4.2), making it the larger number.
What are two consecutive integers of 134?
it is 11 and 12!
Can infinity be defined as rational or irrational - and why?
Infinity is not just really big number - and consequently the concepts of rational vs irrational cannot be applied to it. It is a marvelously useful concept with great utility in mathematics but don't confuse it for being the same as a number that we could write out and categorize just because we have a symbol for representing it. When you stick infinity into an equation you get things like "limits" rather than a fixed answer; for example - for the function f(x) = (x-1)/x, if x = ∞ you don't actually get a value for the function- rather you get a limit that it approaches as x goes off to infinity; in this case the limit as x approaches infinity is 1. For the function f(x) = (x-2)/x, the limit as x approaches infinity is ALSO 1, and for the function f(x) = x/(x-1) the limit as x approaches infinity is .... 1. Obviously for any finite number they will not have the same value, but conceptually they all converge to the same value as you go to infinity. Hopefully this illustrates why you cannot apply the concept of rational vs irrational to "infinity".
