To determine if 7056 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7056.
If the factors of 7056 are only 7056 and 1, then we know that 7056 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7056 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7056 is only divisible by 1 and 7056, then it is a prime number, and if 7056 is divisible by more than 7056 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7056 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 14, 16, 18, 21, 24, 28, 36, 42, 48, 49, 56, 63, 72, 84, 98, 112, 126, 144, 147, 168, 196, 252, 294, 336, 392, 441, 504, 588, 784, 882, 1008, 1176, 1764, 2352, 3528, 7056
Therefore, since 7056 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7056 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
