To determine if 7017 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7017.
If the factors of 7017 are only 7017 and 1, then we know that 7017 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7017 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7017 is only divisible by 1 and 7017, then it is a prime number, and if 7017 is divisible by more than 7017 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7017 are as follows:
1, 3, 2339, 7017
Therefore, since 7017 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7017 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
