The number shown is 16. Let’s determine which category it belongs to:

• Prime: A prime number has only two distinct factors: 1 and itself.
• Composite: A composite number has more than two distinct factors.
• Neither: This applies to 0 and 1, which are neither prime nor composite.

Analysis of 16:

• Factors of 16: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16.
• Since it has more than two factors, 16 is a composite number.

You would sort 16 into the Composite category.
