Let's try 99 and 98! 99 is 3 x 3 x 11 and 98 is 2 x 7 x 7 98 and 99 are consecutive numbers, composite numbers, less than 100 and there is no prime numbers between them!
There are 8 composite numbers between 90 and 100. They are 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 98, and 99.
Look up a list of prime numbers (a Google search for "prime numbers" or "list of prime numbers" should do); every number (greater than 1) that is NOT a prime number is composite.
99 is the largest composite number before 100.
The factors of 99 are 1, 3, 9, 11, 33, and 99.Since 99 has more factors in addition to '1' and itself, it's a composite number.

composite numbers are numbers that can be divided by something other than one. in other words, non-prime numbers. thus, these numbers are composite numbers: 86, 96, 85, 87, 99, 100, 82, 84 and these are not composite numbers: 67, 73
number of composite numbers between 81 and 100 = 15composite numbers between 81 and 100 = 82, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 98, 99
