A composite number is defined as a whole number that have more than two factors; from this definition we conclude that all whole numbers that are not prime are composite numbers.

Since all even numbers are not prime we conclude that Larry is correct; all numbers that have a 2 in the one's place are composite. In fact all even numbers are composite with exception of 2 itself.
