A Prime number has only 2 factors which are 1 and itself. Ex. 2. 3, 5, 7, 11.
Composite numbers are everything else except 1 and 0. Ex. 6, 8, 10, 40.

No. Prime numbers cannot be composite and composite numbers cannot be prime!
A number that is not a prime number is called a composite number because it can be made by multiplying prime numbers together. For example, 6 is a composite number that is the product of multiplying the prime numbers 2 and 3 together.
Composite numbers are numbers greater than 1 that have more than two factors. Relatively prime numbers are numbers that have no common factors other than 1. Therefore, to find 3-digit composite numbers that are relatively prime, we need to look for numbers that are composite and have no common factors. An example of such a pair of 3-digit composite numbers that are relatively prime would be 119 and 143.
