To determine if 7054 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7054.
If the factors of 7054 are only 7054 and 1, then we know that 7054 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7054 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7054 is only divisible by 1 and 7054, then it is a prime number, and if 7054 is divisible by more than 7054 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7054 are as follows:
