A Prime number cannot be evenly divided by any number except itself and 1.
These are the prime numbers from 1 to 100:
2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 61, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97
These are the composite numbers from 1 to 100:
4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18, 20, 21, 22, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 30, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 38, 39, 40, 42, 44, 45, 46, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 60, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 68, 69, 70, 72, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 80, 81, 82, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 98, 99 and 100
The factors of 100 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50, 100 2 and 5 are prime. 1 is neither. The rest are composite.
So we eliminate prime numbers. Note that the number 1 is neither prime nor composite. We have left:4689101214151618202122242526272830323334353638394042444546484950515254555657586062636465666869707274757677788081828485868788909192939495969899100
It is: 25*75 = 1875
The prime factors of 100 are 2, and 5. The composite factors are 100, 50, 25, 20, 10, and 4. A prime number has only 2 factors which are 1 and itself. Composite numbers are everything else except 1 and 0. 1 and 0 have a different name.
Composite numbers have more than two factors. So, the numbers which have two or less than two factors are not composite numbers. Numbers which have exactly two factors are prime numbers. 1 is an exceptional case because it is neither prime nor composite since it has only one factor which is 1.
1 is special 2 prime 3 prime 4 composite 5 prime 6 composite 7 prime 8 composite 9 composite 10 composite 11 prime 12 composite ext.
There are 25 prime numbers and 75 composite numbers from 1 to a 100. A prime number has only two factors whereas a composite number has more than two factors.

75 composite numbers are there till 100. 100-25=75. Composite numbers are numbers greater than 1 but not prime numbers.
The factors of 100 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50, 100 2 and 5 are prime. 1 is neither. The rest are composite.
2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23,29,31,37,41,43,47,53,59,61,67,71,73,79,83,89,and 97 are all prime numbers. The rest are composite
Look for a table of prime numbers. All the odd numbers that are NOT on this list are composite numbers.
So we eliminate prime numbers. Note that the number 1 is neither prime nor composite. We have left:4689101214151618202122242526272830323334353638394042444546484950515254555657586062636465666869707274757677788081828485868788909192939495969899100
It is: 25*75 = 1875
They are the numbers that have more than two factors whereas prime numbers have only two factors and that 1 is not considered to be a composite or a prime number
