To determine if 7055 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7055.
If the factors of 7055 are only 7055 and 1, then we know that 7055 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7055 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7055 is only divisible by 1 and 7055, then it is a prime number, and if 7055 is divisible by more than 7055 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7055 are as follows:
1, 5, 17, 83, 85, 415, 1411, 7055
Therefore, since 7055 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7055 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
