The sum of 2 composite numbers is never a prime number. Explain your answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Composite numbers are positive numbers that have factors, This means that they are divisible by numbers other than 1 and itself provided that number is a factor of the composite number. They possess at the bearest minimum level, a divisor other than  1 and itself. They are a natural number that is expressible as the product of two(or more) numbers other than 1 and itself.

For example:

4 is a composite number because its factors are 1, 2 and 4 which have another divisor apart from 1 and itself (4). That divisor is 2.

We all know that prime numbers are numbers that can be only be divided by 1 and itself.

Therefore, the sum of two composite number, for example:

4 + 6 = 10, We can now see that 10 is never a prime number.
