A Prime number is one that only has factors of 1 and its self (3 is a prime number because you can only multiply 1 and 3 to get it). Since you can multiply 1 and 68, 2 and 34 or 4 and 17 to get 68 it is not a prime number.

68 is a composite number becasue it can be divided by other numbers as well as by 1 and 68 and still result in whole numbers, for example it can be divided by 2, 4, 34, 17.
