Composite numbers refer to those numbers which have more than two factors, that is, these numbers are also divisible by numbers other than 1 and the number itself. There are five composite numbers between 1 and 10. These numbers are 4, 6, 8, 9, and 10. Therefore, between 1 and 10, there are only 5 numbers which are divisible by other numbers as well, except for 1 and the number itself. The remaining five numbers between 1 and 10 are prime numbers, that is they are divisible by only two numbers, which are 1 and the number itself.
