Composite Number
|
A Composite Number can be divided evenly by numbers other than 1 or itself. (In other words, it has more than the two factors of 1 and itself)
Example: 9 can be divided evenly by 1, 3 and 9, so 9 is a composite number.
If it is not a Composite Number it is called a Prime Number
Example: 7 can only be divided evenly by 1 and 7, so it is not composite. It must be a prime number.
