A composite number can be expressed as the product of two or more prime numbers. For example, 30 (composite) is 2 x 3 x 5 [2, 3 and 5 are prime] A Prime number cannot be expressed as the product of other numbers. By convention the numbers zero and 1 are neither prime nor composite.
Rectangular numbers are a subset of composite numbers. The squares of prime numbers will be composite but not rectangular.
Some factors are prime numbers, some are composite.
Numbers....hehe

Prime numbers have two factors. Composite numbers have more than two.

The relationship between prime numbers and composite numbers is that they are antonyms or opposites of each other. A natural number, is either prime or composite, but it can not be both. Prime numbers have only two factors, one and itself. Composite numbers are whole numbers that are not prime numbers, which means that they have factors other than one and itself.
Prime numbers have no divisibles.
30,32,33,34,35,36,38,39,40 are the composite numbers between 30 and 40. Composite numbers are numbers that are not prime numbers.
Prime numbers are those that are not composite. The only prime numbers in this range are 3, 5, and 7.

No. Prime numbers cannot be composite and composite numbers cannot be prime!
Search the Internet for a list of prime numbers - the Wikipedia article on prime numbers might list a few. All numbers between 2-100 that are not prime, are composite. (The number is not counted as prime, nor as composite.)
The 8th prime number is 19. The 12th prime number is 37. There are 17 numbers between 19 and 37. There are three prime numbers between the 8th and 12th prime numbers (the 9th, 10th, and 11th). So, there are 17 - 3 = 14 composite numbers.
