To determine if 7036 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7036.
If the factors of 7036 are only 7036 and 1, then we know that 7036 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7036 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7036 is only divisible by 1 and 7036, then it is a prime number, and if 7036 is divisible by more than 7036 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7036 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 1759, 3518, 7036
Therefore, since 7036 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7036 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 7037 prime or composite?
