A. 2
A composite number can be formed if you multiply two smaller positive integers. So the result is also a positive integer. Let's test each option:
Option A.
[tex]\frac{236}{2}=118 \\ \\ \\ So: \\ \\ 236=2\times 118[/tex]
236 can be formed by multiplying two smaller positive integers that are 2 and 118.
Option B.
[tex]\frac{236}{3}=78.67 \ It's \ not \ an \ integer[/tex]
Option c.
[tex]\frac{236}{7}=33.71 \ It's \ not \ an \ integer[/tex]
Option d.
[tex]\frac{236}{7}=39.33 \ It's \ not \ an \ integer[/tex]
Only Option A meets the requirements.

Answer:
Option(a)
You can know that 236 is a composite number because it is divisible by 2
Explanation:
A composite number is a number which is a positive integer and non prime in nature i.e it is divisible by number other than 1 and itself.
Since the given number 236 is divisible by 2 and gives 118 on dividing by 2
[tex]\frac{236}{2} = 118[/tex]
where it an positive integer and it is a composite number.So, option A is the right answer and other option wont result in an integer.
