To determine if 7046 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7046.
If the factors of 7046 are only 7046 and 1, then we know that 7046 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7046 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7046 is only divisible by 1 and 7046, then it is a prime number, and if 7046 is divisible by more than 7046 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7046 are as follows:
1, 2, 13, 26, 271, 542, 3523, 7046
