To determine if 7041 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7041.
If the factors of 7041 are only 7041 and 1, then we know that 7041 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7041 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7041 is only divisible by 1 and 7041, then it is a prime number, and if 7041 is divisible by more than 7041 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7041 are as follows:
1, 3, 2347, 7041
Therefore, since 7041 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7041 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 7042 prime or composite?
