Description
A detailed tutorial on what composite numbers are. Step by step tutorial including several examples of composite numbers and their definition for reference.
Overview
A composite number is the opposite of a prime number. Some people say they are any number that is not prime, but that is not exactly accurate – negative numbers are not prime (even negative prime numbers), and a composite number is not a negative number, it is a positive number. A composite number is any positive integer that has more divisors than itself and one – which are the only two numbers a prime number can be divided by.
