Composite numbers have at least 3 factors. There are no composite numbers with only one factor. There are numbers that have the factor multiplied by itself: Some of them are:
4 - 2 x 2
9 - 3 x 3
16 - 4 x 4
25 - 5 x 5
36 - 6 x 6
49 - 7 x 7
64 - 8 x 8
81 - 9 x 9
100 - 10 x 10
etc.

Composite numbers have more than two factors.
The greatest common factor of these numbers is 1. If it were a composite number, we could say that that number, and all the numbers that divide it evenly, divide these numbers evenly. However, these numbers are relatively prime-that is, the only factor they share is 1.
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.
Not all composite numbers are even, but all even numbers except 2 are composite.
A composite number has more than two factors. A prime number has exactly two factors. A prime factor is a factor that is a prime number. All numbers can be written as a prime number or the product of prime factors. So, all composite numbers have prime factors. Here are examples: 10 = 2 x 5 11 = 11 12 = 2 x 2 x 3 13 = 13 14 = 2 x 7 15 = 3 x 5 16 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 Any number has itself as a factor, so all composite numbers have at least one composite factor - themselves. Some composite numbers have other composite numbers as factors, as well. If the composite number has only two (not necessarily distinct) prime factors, it will not have any other composite numbers as factors other than itself. Here are examples: 20 has factors 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, and 20, of which 4, 10, and 20 are composite numbers. 21 has factors 1, 3, 7, and 21, of which only 21 is a composite number. 22 had factors 1, 2, 11, and 22, of which only 22 is a composite number. 24 has factors 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24, of which 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24 are composite numbers. A factor string of a composite number can be a combination of prime and composite factors that multiplied together equal the number. The prime factorization is a factor string with only the prime numbers. Here are examples: 24 has a factor string of 4 x 6, both of which are composite numbers, or 3 x 8, of which one is a composite number and one is a prime number, or 2 x 3 x 4, of which one is a composite number and two are prime numbers, or 2 x 2 x 2 x 3, which is the prime factorization. 20 has a factor string of 4 x 5, of which one is a composite number and one is a prime number, or 2 x 2 x 5, which is the prime factorization.
25 is the only composite factor of 25.
All numbers have factors. Some factors are prime numbers, some are composite numbers. A factor that is a composite number is a composite factor.
Squares (or cubes or more) of prime numbers have one distinct prime factor, but if you're counting them individually, all composite numbers have at least two prime factors.
Only two: (4, 9) and (6, 6). In all other factor pairs, one of the numbers is not composite.
A composite factor is a factor that is a composite number, as opposed to a prime factor which is a factor that is a prime number.
All numbers, (except 1) have at least two factors: 1 and the number itself. So, there are no numbers, besides 1, with only 1 factor. And 1 is neither prime nor composite.
Composite numbers have more than two factors.
226 is a composite number, not a prime number. All even numbers except for the number 2 are composite numbers because 2 is a factor of all of them. To be a prime number, the only factors can be 1 and itself.
All even numbers are composite, because 2 is a factor of every even number.
Factor it. Prime numbers have two factors, composite numbers have more than two.
Prime numbers have only two factors whereas composite numbers have more than two factors and that 1 is not considered to be a prime or composite number but it is a factor of all other numbers.
Because all other even numbers have 1 & 2 always as a factor which makes it a composite number.
