no, because a composite number can be found by multiplying three prime numbers. 3*2*5 = 30, and 30 is a composite number and also has 3 prime factors. Every prime number has 1 prime factor by the way, itself. 1 is neither prime nor composite.

There is not such a thing as a composite prime number. A prime number has exactly two factors. A composite number has more than two factors.
Composite. Every even number (other than 2) is composite (since it has 2 as one of its factors).
397 is a prime number. A prime number has only 2 factors which are 1 and itself. Composite numbers are every other positive integer except 1 and 0. 1 and 0 are neither prime, nor composite.
1 and any factors that are themselves composite since none of these are prime.
ok well i am in prime and composite in math class and this is how: If the number is a prime then it can only have 2 factors. If it has 3 or more it is a composite number. Say 25 has a lot of factors so it is a composite number. And if 1 has only 1 factor then it is a prime number. And there you have prime and composite.
