Composite numbers are the non-prime numbers, numbers that have more than two factors. Every number that is not prime (has factors other than one and itself) is a composite number. A composite number is divisible by some number other than one and itself. For example, the number 6 is a composite number because it is divisible by 2 and 3 (in addition to 1 and 6) while the number 7 is prime because it is not divisible by any number other than 1 and 7.
