Composite numbers are positive whole numbers that can be divided with no remainder by something other than 1 and themselves.
Even numbers can be divided without remainder by 2, so any even number greater than 2 can be divided without remainder by at least three numbers: 1, 2, and the number itself. That makes the number composite.
