ProfessorWell, honey, prime numbers are like the popular kids in school - they only hang out with 1 and themselves. Composite numbers, on the other hand, are like the rest of us - they can be divided by more than just 1 and their own reflection in the mirror. So, the similarity is that both prime and composite numbers are part of the big ol' family of integers, just with different social circles.
Prime numbers and composite numbers are both integers. They are both natural numbers greater than 1. The main similarity between prime and composite numbers is that they can both be divided by 1 and themselves. However, prime numbers have exactly two factors (1 and the number itself), while composite numbers have more than two factors.
