Because there are an infinite number of numbers, it would stand to reason that there are an infinite number of prime and composite numbers.

Yes, there is an infinite amount of prime numbers. This has been proven by the ancient Greek mathematician Euclid. As for composite numbers, since there are infinitely many natural numbers, there must also be an infinite amount of composite numbers, as they are all the natural numbers that are not prime.
