Composite number

A composite number is a positive integer that can be formed by multiplying two smaller
positive integers. Equivalently, it is a positive integer that has at least one divisor other than 1
and itself.Every positive integer is composite, prime, or the unit 1, so the composite numbers
are exactly the numbers that are not prime and not a unit.
For example, the integer 14 is a composite number because it is the product of the two
smaller integers 2 × 7. Likewise, the integers 2 and 3 are not composite numbers because
each of them can only be divided by one and itself.
The composite numbers up to 150 are 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18, 20, 21, 22, 24, 25, 26,
27, 28, 30, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 38, 39, 40, 42, 44, 45, 46, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58,
60, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 68, 69, 70, 72, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 80, 81, 82, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 90, 91,
92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 98, 99, 100, 102, 104, 105, 106, 108, 110, 111, 112, 114, 115, 116, 117,
118, 119, 120, 121, 122, 123, 124, 125, 126, 128, 129, 130, 132, 133, 134, 135, 136, 138,
140, 141, 142, 143, 144, 145, 146, 147, 148, 150.
Every composite number can be written as the product of two or more (not necessarily
distinct) primes.For example, the composite number 299 can be written as 13 × 23, and the
composite number 360 can be written as 23 × 32 × 5; furthermore, this representation is
unique up to the order of the factors. This fact is called the fundamental theorem of
arithmetic.
There are several known primality tests that can determine whether a number is prime or
composite, without necessarily revealing the factorization of a composite input.
