A composite number is a positive integer greater than 1 which is not a prime number. Composite numbers can always be written as a product of prime numbers, which represent a prime factorization.[1] For example, the prime factorization of the composite number 42 is 2 x 3 x 7.
Related to composite numbers are highly composite numbers (HCN's). The HCN's are the higher order of the two types of numbers that are the opposite to prime numbers.
