A negative Number
It is a negative rational number in decimal form. It is also a real number.
A prime number has only 2 factors which are 1 and itself. Composite numbers are everything else except 1 and 0. 1 and 0 are neither prime, nor composite. -2 is composite.
It is a composite number because it has more than two factors
Referring to only positive integers, the smallest composite number is 4 (2 x 2). A composite number is any number that is the product of two or more prime numbers.*Referring to all integers, it would be the negative number -9, (3 x -3), which is the also the arithmetically lowest one-digit number. However, under normal definitions, negative numbers are not considered prime or composite numbers.
Obviously, the answer is a composite number. Reason:A number multiplied by another number (besides 1) will give a result of a composite number. If a number is multiplied by 0, the answer will be 0 (which is not a prime number nor composite) unless a number has been added or subtracted to give either a negative or positive number, respectively.
The integers that are usually considered neither prime nor composite are 0 and 1 (and -1 among the negative integers). The number 1 can be described as unity or identity.
A composite number is defined as a "positive integer with a positive divisor other than one and itself". So therefore, while negative numbers can have factors in the same way as positive numbers, none is considered prime.
The number 1 is neither prime nor composite.
