To determine if 7044 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7044.
If the factors of 7044 are only 7044 and 1, then we know that 7044 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7044 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7044 is only divisible by 1 and 7044, then it is a prime number, and if 7044 is divisible by more than 7044 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7044 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 587, 1174, 1761, 2348, 3522, 7044
Therefore, since 7044 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7044 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
