The inverse is: "If a number does not have exactly two distinct factors, then the number is not prime."

Reason: The original is "If P then Q" where P = "has exactly two distinct factors" and Q = "is prime". The inverse is "If not P then not Q." (The contrapositive would be "If not Q then not P" and the converse is "If Q then P".)
