A composite number has more than two factors. In this case, the number 13233345364715 has more than two factors, so it is composite.

Step-by-step explanation:

Numbers can be classified as prime or composite. Prime numbers have only two factors, 1 and the number itself. For example, 13 is a prime number because only 1 and 13 can be multiplied together to get 13. However, a composite number has more than two factors. In the case of the numer 13233345364715, I know that there are more than two factors because the number ends in 5, which means it has a factor of 5. To confirm, divide 13233345364715/5 = 2646669072943. This large of a number may also have other factors, however, since you now know it has at least four factors, it is composite.
