"Composite" means that the number has smaller factors; "prime" means that it doesn't. Look at the last digit. If the digit is 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8, the number is divisible by 2. If the last digit is 0 or 5, the number is divisible by 5. If it none of those, the number may still have additional factors; but checking for this last digit can often quickly give you an answer.
