Answer:

a composite one

Explanation:

Why?

It is easy-peasy.

First, it is impossible to have a prime number. Because primes are only divisible by 1 and themselves.

For example, 3 is a prime. 7 is a prime. Multiply them and get 21.

I hope it helped:)

Explanation:

No, the product of two (or more) prime numbers cannot result in another prime number. By definition, a prime number is a number that is divisible by 1 or itself - the act of multiplying two or more primes together will always yield a number divisible by 1, itself and the prime numbers multiplied together to achieve it.
