A composite number is a number with more than two factors; in other words, it has at least one factor besides 1 and itself. 56 has factors other than 1 and itself, so it is not a prime number. For example, it is divisible by 2 because it is an even number. Therefore, 56 is a composite number.56 is composite: it is divisible by 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 28, and 5656 is an even number greater than 2. It is a composite number (has factors besides 1 and itself).56 is a composite number because it has factors other than 1 and 56: 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 28, 56.
