Is 360 a prime or composite number?

A prime number is a number with two and only two factors: 1 (also known as unity) and itself. A composite number is a number with more than two factors; in other words, it has at least one factor besides 1 and itself. 360 has factors other than 1 and itself, so it is not a prime number. For example, it is divisible by 5. (You can tell this because the last digit is a 0. If the last digit - the digit in the ones place - is a 5 or a 0, the number is divisible by 5.) Therefore, 360 is a composite number.

Why do you need to know about prime and composite numbers?

If you know a number is composite, then you also know that it can be factored into more factors than just 1 and itself. A prime number has only 2 factors which are 1 and itself. Composite numbers are everything else except 1 and 0. 1 and 0 are neither prime, nor composite.
