15 is not a prime factor as it is divided by 1,3,5 and 15.

Additional information:

Prime numbers are those numbers which can only be divided by itself .for instance:1,2,3,5,7 ,11,13 etc.

Composite number s are those numbers which can be also divided by other numbers,For instance: 4,6,8,10 etc

Hope it helps....
