To determine if 7031 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7031.
If the factors of 7031 are only 7031 and 1, then we know that 7031 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7031 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7031 is only divisible by 1 and 7031, then it is a prime number, and if 7031 is divisible by more than 7031 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7031 are as follows:
1, 79, 89, 7031
Therefore, since 7031 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7031 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 7032 prime or composite?
