To determine if 7051 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7051.
If the factors of 7051 are only 7051 and 1, then we know that 7051 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7051 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7051 is only divisible by 1 and 7051, then it is a prime number, and if 7051 is divisible by more than 7051 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7051 are as follows:
1, 11, 641, 7051
Therefore, since 7051 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7051 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 7052 prime or composite?
