To determine if 7004 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7004.
If the factors of 7004 are only 7004 and 1, then we know that 7004 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7004 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7004 is only divisible by 1 and 7004, then it is a prime number, and if 7004 is divisible by more than 7004 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7004 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 17, 34, 68, 103, 206, 412, 1751, 3502, 7004
Therefore, since 7004 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7004 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 7005 prime or composite?
