A Prime number has exactly two distinct factors whereas a composite number has more than two distinct factors.
Examples:
Prime numbers have two factors. Composite numbers have more than two.
The set of even numbers contains the prime number, 2. The set of composite numbers contains infinitely many odd numbers.
Rectangular numbers are a subset of composite numbers. The squares of prime numbers will be composite but not rectangular.
No, twin primes are pairs of prime numbers that have only one number between them which is a composite number. For example, (3, 5) and (11, 13) are twin prime pairs with the composite number 4 and 12 respectively between them.
Numbers....hehe
11 and 7 have a difference of 4.
Prime numbers have two factors. Composite numbers have more than two.

Prime numbers have two factors, composite numbers have more than two.
The difference between prime and composite numbers is simple. Prime numbers have only two factors, 1 and itself. Composite numbers are divisible by more than two numbers
The set of even numbers contains the prime number, 2. The set of composite numbers contains infinitely many odd numbers.
Prime numbers have no divisibles.
prime numbers are numbers that can only be divided by one and itself. Composite numbers can be divided by more than one and itself.
30,32,33,34,35,36,38,39,40 are the composite numbers between 30 and 40. Composite numbers are numbers that are not prime numbers.
Both belong to set of whole numbers. There are infinite prime and composite numbers.
Rectangular numbers are a subset of composite numbers. The squares of prime numbers will be composite but not rectangular.
No, twin primes are pairs of prime numbers that have only one number between them which is a composite number. For example, (3, 5) and (11, 13) are twin prime pairs with the composite number 4 and 12 respectively between them.
