To determine if 7053 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7053.
If the factors of 7053 are only 7053 and 1, then we know that 7053 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7053 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7053 is only divisible by 1 and 7053, then it is a prime number, and if 7053 is divisible by more than 7053 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7053 are as follows:
