Porter · Answer 1

depends on the value of said negative number. even if they are negative it has nothing to do with them being prime or composite. 3, for example, will always be a composite number. everything that can be multiplied evenly by 3 will also always be a composite number.

Cristian · Answer 2

Negative numbers aren't considered in any of those categories.
