Answer:
In Mathematics, Composite numbers are the numbers which have more than two factors, unlike prime numbers which have only two factors, i.e. 1 and the number itself. These numbers are also called composites.
- All the natural numbers which are not prime numbers are composite numbers as they can be divided by more than two numbers. For example, 6 is composite because it is divisible by 1, 2, 3 and even 6, such as:
- 6÷1 = 6
- 6÷2 = 3
- 6÷3 = 2
- 6÷6 = 1
