To determine if 7026 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7026.
If the factors of 7026 are only 7026 and 1, then we know that 7026 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7026 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7026 is only divisible by 1 and 7026, then it is a prime number, and if 7026 is divisible by more than 7026 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7026 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 1171, 2342, 3513, 7026
Therefore, since 7026 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7026 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
