<u><em>FALSE.</em></u><em></em> A composite number is the opposite of a prime number. This is false because of the possibility of the following scenario: The two numbers are 1 and a prime number. This is because <em>one multiplied by any number is that number.</em> A prime number cannot become a composite number just because it is being multiplied by one. For example: 1 x 7 = 7 (prime) Hope this helps! ~<em>Archimedes El</em>∈<em>ven</em>
