To determine if 7007 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7007.
If the factors of 7007 are only 7007 and 1, then we know that 7007 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7007 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7007 is only divisible by 1 and 7007, then it is a prime number, and if 7007 is divisible by more than 7007 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7007 are as follows:
1, 7, 11, 13, 49, 77, 91, 143, 539, 637, 1001, 7007
Therefore, since 7007 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7007 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 7008 prime or composite?
