To determine if 7016 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7016.
If the factors of 7016 are only 7016 and 1, then we know that 7016 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7016 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7016 is only divisible by 1 and 7016, then it is a prime number, and if 7016 is divisible by more than 7016 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7016 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 877, 1754, 3508, 7016
Therefore, since 7016 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7016 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 7017 prime or composite?
