Is there an infinite amount of prime and composite numbers?

Yes, there is an infinite amount of prime numbers. This has been proven by the ancient Greek mathematician Euclid. As for composite numbers, since there are infinitely many natural numbers, there must also be an infinite amount of composite numbers, as they are all the natural numbers that are not prime.

They were known to the early Greeks. The Pythagoreans referred to primes around 400BC. The Greek mathematician, Euclid talked about prime numbers in his work entitled "Elements". This was 300BC. I don't think they were recognised earlier by the Babylonians.

Who was euclid and why was he interested in how many prime numbers exist?

Euclid was a Greek mathematician, and is called the father of geometry. A prime number is any number that can only be divided by itself and one. There are an infinite number of prime numbers. As a mathematician Euclid was interested the pursuit of knowledge for knowledge's sake and in proving that things could be quantified (how many, how much). In the case of primes the answer of "there are an infinitely large number of primes" was not available to him as the Greeks did not have the concept of "infinite".
