That depends what you need to "solve". If what you want to do is check whether a number is prime or composite, check whether it is divisible by 2, and then by all odd numbers up to the square root of your number. For example, for numbers up to 120, you only need to check whether they are divisible by 2, 3, 5, 7 (9 is composite, so you don't really need to check divisibility by 9). If your number is divisible by any such number, then it is composite; otherwise it is a prime.
There are more efficient methods, but they are also more complicated, and it really only makes sense to use them for much larger numbers.
A Prime number has only 2 factors which are 1 and itself. Composite numbers are everything else except 1 and 0. 1 and 0 have a different name.

How are prime numbers and composite numbers related?
The relationship between prime numbers and composite numbers is that they are antonyms or opposites of each other. A natural number, is either prime or composite, but it can not be both. Prime numbers have only two factors, one and itself. Composite numbers are whole numbers that are not prime numbers, which means that they have factors other than one and itself.
