What is the difference between a prime and composite number

The video tutorial explains the concepts of prime and composite numbers. A prime number is defined as a number with only two factors: itself and one. Examples of prime numbers include 3, 11, and 47. The tutorial also covers the concept of factors, explaining that a factor is a number that divides another number evenly. The video then transitions to composite numbers, which are numbers with more than two factors. Examples of composite numbers include 6, 24, and 30. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of understanding these concepts for future mathematical learning.
