If an odd number has more than two factors then it is a composite number but if it has only two factors then it is a prime number. Although all prime numbers are odd except for 2 many more odd numbers are composite numbers having more than two factors as for example 21 is an odd number whose factors are 1, 3, 7 and 21.
