To determine if 7068 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7068.
If the factors of 7068 are only 7068 and 1, then we know that 7068 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7068 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7068 is only divisible by 1 and 7068, then it is a prime number, and if 7068 is divisible by more than 7068 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7068 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 19, 31, 38, 57, 62, 76, 93, 114, 124, 186, 228, 372, 589, 1178, 1767, 2356, 3534, 7068
Therefore, since 7068 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7068 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
