Prime numbers are numbers that can only be multiplied itself and one.For ex.87 is a Prime number. You can't multiply a number to get 87. Composite is a number that can be multiplied by other numbers than itself. For ex.55 is a commposite number. 11 and 5 can get you 55. Hope u understand! Good luck!
