The natural numbers 1,2,... are divided into three sets: 1 (the unit), the primes (A000040) and the composite numbers (A002808).
The number of composite numbers <= n (A065855) = n - pi(n) (A000720) - 1.
n is composite iff sigma(n) + phi(n) > 2n. This is a nice result of the well known theorem: For all positive integers n, n = Sum_{d|n} phi(d). For the proof see my contribution to puzzle 76 of Carlos Rivera's Primepuzzles. - Farideh Firoozbakht, Jan 27 2005, Jan 18 2015
The composite numbers have the semiprimes A001358 as primitive elements.

Composite numbers n which are the product of r=A001222(n) prime numbers are sometimes called r-almost primes. Sequences listing r-almost primes are: A000040 (r = 1), A001358 (r = 2), A014612 (r = 3), A014613 (r = 4), A014614 (r = 5), A046306 (r = 6), A046308 (r = 7), A046310 (r = 8), A046312 (r = 9), A046314 (r = 10), A069272 (r = 11), A069273 (r = 12), A069274 (r = 13), A069275 (r = 14), A069276 (r = 15), A069277 (r = 16), A069278 (r = 17), A069279 (r = 18), A069280 (r = 19), A069281 (r = 20). - Jason Kimberley, Oct 02 2011
a(n) = A056608(n) * A160180(n). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Mar 29 2014
Degrees for which there are irreducible polynomials which are reducible mod p for all primes p, see Brandl. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Sep 04 2014
An integer is composite if and only if it is the sum of strictly positive integers in arithmetic progression with common difference 2: 4 = 1 + 3, 6 = 2 + 4, 8 = 3 + 5, 9 = 1 + 3 + 5, etc. - Jean-Christophe Hervé, Oct 02 2014
This statement holds since k+(k+2)+...+k+2(n-1) = n*(n+k-1) = a*b with arbitrary a,b (taking n=a and k=b-a+1 if b>=a). - M. F. Hasler, Oct 04 2014
For n > 4, these are numbers n such that n!/n^2 = (n-1)!/n is an integer (see A056653). - Derek Orr, Apr 16 2015
Let f(x) = Sum_{i=1..x} Sum_{j=2..i-1} cos((2*Pi*x*j)/i). It is known that the zeros of f(x) are the prime numbers. So these are the numbers n such that f(n) > 0. - Michel Lagneau, Oct 13 2015
Numbers n that can be written as solutions of the Diophantine equation n = (x+2)(y+2) where {x,y} in N^2, pairs of natural numbers including zero (cf. Mathematica code and Davis). - Ron R Spencer and Bradley Klee, Aug 15 2016
Numbers n with a partition (containing at least two summands) so that its summands also multiply to n. If n is prime, there is no way to find those two (or more) summands. If n is composite, simply take a factor or several, write those divisors and fill with enough 1's so that they add up to n. For example: 4 = 2*2 = 2+2, 6 = 1*2*3 = 1+2+3, 8 = 1*1*2*4 = 1+1+2+4, 9 = 1*1*1*3*3 = 1+1+1+3+3. - Juhani Heino, Aug 02 2017
