What is the largest composite digit?

The largest single digit composite number is 9. The largest prime number is 17 million digits long. The definition of a composite number is any number that has at least one positive divisor other than one or the number itself (it is not a prime number). The largest composite digit is therefore longer than the largest prime number by at leaf +1.


What is the largest 3-digit number that only has 2 and 5 as prime factors?

The only number that ONLY has two and five as factors is 10, which has two digits, so there are no numbers that are three digits long and ONLY have two and five for factors. However, if you are asking what the largest three digit number that has two and five for factors, it would be the largest three digit number with ten as a factor, as ten the the LCM of two and five, and that would be 390.
