To determine if 7024 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7024.
If the factors of 7024 are only 7024 and 1, then we know that 7024 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7024 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7024 is only divisible by 1 and 7024, then it is a prime number, and if 7024 is divisible by more than 7024 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7024 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 439, 878, 1756, 3512, 7024
Therefore, since 7024 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7024 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
