To determine if 7014 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7014.
If the factors of 7014 are only 7014 and 1, then we know that 7014 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7014 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7014 is only divisible by 1 and 7014, then it is a prime number, and if 7014 is divisible by more than 7014 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7014 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 42, 167, 334, 501, 1002, 1169, 2338, 3507, 7014
Therefore, since 7014 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7014 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 7015 prime or composite?
