To determine if 7012 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7012.
If the factors of 7012 are only 7012 and 1, then we know that 7012 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7012 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7012 is only divisible by 1 and 7012, then it is a prime number, and if 7012 is divisible by more than 7012 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7012 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 1753, 3506, 7012
Therefore, since 7012 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7012 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 7013 prime or composite?
