Explanation:

Step1: Identify number type

A number divisible by 3 (other than 3 itself) is composite (since it has factors besides 1 and itself).

Step2: Determine number of factors

Composite numbers have more than two factors.

Step3: Find possible team size

Possible sizes are multiples of 3 (e.g., 6, 9, 12, etc.). Let's pick 12 as an example.

Answer:

composite; more than two; 12 (or other multiples of 3 greater than 3, e.g., 6, 9, 15)
