To determine if 7001 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7001.
If the factors of 7001 are only 7001 and 1, then we know that 7001 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7001 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7001 is only divisible by 1 and 7001, then it is a prime number, and if 7001 is divisible by more than 7001 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7001 are as follows:
1, 7001
Therefore, since 7001 is divisible by only one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7001 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
prime
Is 7002 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 7001 is a prime number. Use our logic above and see if
you can figure out if the next number on our list is prime or composite before you check your answer.
