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.
Example
The factors of 3 are:
3 : 1,3
3 multiplied by 3 is 9.
The factors of 9 are:
9 : 1,3,9
Multiples 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.
