What is Composite Number?

A positive integer that has at least one divisor other than 1 and itself.

Tips: It is recommended to use our online Composite Numbers calculator for better understanding.

Examples

The following table provides few examples of composite numbers.

Number	Divisor	Result
13	1, 13	Not a Composite Number
15	1, 3, 5, 15	Composite Number
47	1, 47	Not a Composite Number

Using for loop

In the following example, we will check whether the number 12 is a Composite number or not using for loop.

Example

PHP Compiler

<?php $num = 12; $count = 0; for($i=1; $i<=$num; $i++) { if($num % $i == 0) $count++; } if($count > 2) printf("$num is a composite number"); else printf("$num is not a composite number"); ?>

Output

12 is a composite number

Using while loop

In the following example, we will check whether the number 12 is a Composite number or not using while loop.

Example

PHP Compiler

<?php $num = 12; $count = 0; $i = 1; while($num >= $i) { if($num % $i == 0) $count++; $i++; } if($count > 2) printf("$num is a composite number"); else printf("$num is not a composite number"); ?>

Output

12 is a composite number

Using do while loop

In the following example, we will check whether the number 12 is a Composite number or not using do while loop.

Example

PHP Compiler

<?php $num = 12; $count = 0; $i = 1; do{ if($num % $i == 0) $count++; $i++; }while($i<= $num); if($count > 2) printf("$num is a composite number"); else printf("$num is not a composite number"); ?>

Output

12 is a composite number

Composite Numbers between the Given Range

In the following example, we will find all the Composite numbers between 1 and 10.

Example

PHP Compiler

<?php $start = 1; $end = 10; $count = 0; $i = 1; echo "Composite Numbers between $start and $end: <br>"; for($start=$start; $start<=$end; $start++) { for($i=1; $i<=$start; $i++) { if($start % $i == 0) $count++; } if($count > 2) echo "$start "; $count = 0; } echo "<br>"; ?>

Output

Composite Numbers between 1 and 10: 4 6 8 9 10

Check Whether the Number is Prime or Composite

In the following example, we will check whether the number 12 is a Prime number or Composite number.

Example

PHP Compiler

<?php $num = 12; $count = 0; for($i=1; $i<=$num; $i++) { if($num % $i == 0) $count++; } if($count == 2) printf("$num is a prime number"); else printf("$num is a composite number"); ?>
