Answer:

Primes have only 2 factors: 1 and themselves. An example would be 19.

Explanation:

Composites have 3 or more factors.All even numbers, except 2, are 100% composite.

If a number's last digit is 5, it's also 100%composite. I hope it helps

Answer:

a composite number has more than one prime factor

Explanation:

A prime is divisible only by itself and 1, by definition. If the number is also divisible by some other integer, it is composite.
