To determine if 7002 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7002.
If the factors of 7002 are only 7002 and 1, then we know that 7002 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7002 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7002 is only divisible by 1 and 7002, then it is a prime number, and if 7002 is divisible by more than 7002 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7002 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 389, 778, 1167, 2334, 3501, 7002
Therefore, since 7002 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7002 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 7003 prime or composite?
