A composite number has three or more factors.
A composite number is any number who has more than 2 factors. ex: 10 Factors of 10 = 1, 2, 5, 10. 10 has 4 factors, and is composite. ex: 7 Factors of 7 = 1, 7. 7 has 2 factors, and is not composite. Anything with 2 factors is called Prime. it has factors of 1 and itself only. To find the factors of 208, see if you can divide it by a number evenly. 2 will work, since 208 is even. This means, so far the factors are 1, 2 and 208. (there are more) But I will stop here, because 208 has at least 3 factors. 3 is more than 2, and when a number has more than 2 factors.... 208 is composite.
a prime number means it has only two factors 1 and itself. a composite number has more than two factors for example 3 is a prime number because its factors are 1 and itself. 4 is a composite number because it has more than two factors 1,4,2 6,9,10,12,4,8,and 20
they are called numbers with 3 factors
No, 19 is prime. A composite number needs to have 3 or more factors. 19 has only 2 factors, 1 and itself, which makes it prime.
A composite number has three or more factors.
A number which has more than two factors is called composite number. Factors of 18 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9 and 18. As it can be seen 18 has more than two factors so, 18 is composite.
A prime square
A whole number greater than 1 that has 3 or more factors is 10.
The factors of 33 are 1, 3, 11, and 33. It has 3 or more factors. It is a composite number.
If a number has more then 3 factors
The word you are probably looking for is 'factor'. The result of multiplying two or more factors is called the quotient. Example: 2 x 3 = 6 Two and three are factors of the quotient six.

a composite number
only 2516 and 36 also have an odd number of factors, but both of those have more than 3.
