To determine if 7037 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7037.
If the factors of 7037 are only 7037 and 1, then we know that 7037 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7037 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7037 is only divisible by 1 and 7037, then it is a prime number, and if 7037 is divisible by more than 7037 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7037 are as follows:
