A composite can be the integer power of a Prime number. So, 49 =7*7 is one example. 27=3*3*3 is another. A non power composite example is 15=3*5.
Prime factorization is writing a composite number as a product of prime numbers.
Expressing a composite number as a product of its prime factors
No not always because composite numbers can be the product of 2 or more prime factors
composite
A composite number.
Expressing 15 as a product of its primes is 3 x 5 = 15 Composite numbers can be broken down into a product of prime numbers.
A prime factorization is the same as expressing a composite number as the product of its prime factors. Prime numbers don't have factorizations; they're already prime.
Prime factorization is writing a composite number as a product of prime numbers.
composite
A composite number.
Yes, of course. In fact the product of any two numbers is composite unless one of them is 1.
Expressing a composite number as a product of its prime factors
Showing a composite number as a product of prime numbers is called prime factorization.

I believe it is. A composite number is a number that is the product of two other numbers multiplied, isn't it?
If you mean the product, that's by definition. A composite number has smaller factors. If you multiply two positive integers, none of which is 1, together, then it follows that the product has smaller factors - namely, the numbers you multiplied together.
Product of two prime numbers is a composite number. e.g. 2 x 3 = 6, 3 x 17 = 51 etc. But, why the result is a composite number? Definition of composite number makes it much clear: A number which can be expressed as the product of prime numbers is called a composite number. Also, it has more than two factors. So, product of two primes is a composite number.
