Hi,
Composite integer or composite numbers are those natural numbers (positive) which has more than 2 factors. In simple words, numbers other than prime numbers are composite numbers.
For eg. 4,10,15 are composite numbers.

  1. Factors of 4 : 2X2, 4X1
  2. Factors of 10: 5X2,10X1 and so on.
    Whereas numbers like 2,3,7 have only 2 factors 1 and the number itself.

Hope this helps your query.
