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.
