composite seeing as if a number has more factors than 1 and itself.If you multiply a prime number the product will be a composite number. This is because it will have more than two factors as the prime number will be a factor.ExampleThe factors of 3 are:3 : 1,33 multiplied by 3 is 9.The factors of 9 are:9 : 1,3,9Multiples of any numbers other than 1 are composite numbers.The multiples of primes are composite, because they are divisible by the two numbers that were multiplied to make it.
