The first number is called non-prime because it has factors other than 1 and itself. The second number is called a factor of the first number.

Another expression often used is to say that the first number is "divisible" by the second.

The first number is a multiple of the second. Or, the first number is divisible by the second. Or, the second number is a factor of the first. All of these are true.
