C++ Program to find Composite Number

Last Updated: 22-April-2020

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

C++ Compiler

#include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { int num = 12; int i; int count = 0; for(i=1; i<=num; i++) { if(num % i == 0) count++; } if(count > 2) cout << num <<" is a composite number"; else cout << num <<" is not a composite number"; return 0; }

Run

Using while loop

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

Example

C++ Compiler

#include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { int num = 12; int i = 1; int count = 0; while(num >= i) { if(num % i == 0) count++; i++; } if(count > 2) cout << num <<" is a composite number"; else cout << num <<" is not a composite number"; return 0; }

Run

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

C++ Compiler

#include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { int num = 12; int i = 1; int count = 0; do{ if(num % i == 0) count++; i++; }while(i<=num); if(count > 2) cout << num <<" is a composite number"; else cout << num <<" is not a composite number"; return 0; }

Composite Numbers between the Given Range

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

Example

C++ Compiler

#include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { int start = 1; int end = 10; int count = 0; int i = 1; cout << "Composite Numbers between " << start <<" and " << end <<": \n"; for(start=start; start<=end; start++) { for(i=1; i<=start; i++) { if(start % i == 0) count++; } if(count > 2) cout << start << " "; count = 0; } return 0; }

Run

Check Whether the Given Number is Prime or Composite

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

Example

C++ Compiler

#include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { int num; int i = 1; int count = 0; cout << "Enter a (int) number: "; cin >> num; for(i=1; i<=num; i++) { if(num % i == 0) count++; } if(count == 2) cout << num <<" is a prime number"; else cout << num <<" is a composite number"; return 0; }
