Abstract:
Composite numbers and prime numbers were studied. They are said to be in infinite sets. 0 and 1 are neither prime nor composite; other natural numbers are either prime numbers or composite numbers. A conclusion was first made by observation then, analysis. Then, the author had created two formulas: one for the set of composite numbers and another for the set of prime numbers. This is also a proof that there are infinitely many prime numbers.
