To determine if 7072 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7072.
If the factors of 7072 are only 7072 and 1, then we know that 7072 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7072 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7072 is only divisible by 1 and 7072, then it is a prime number, and if 7072 is divisible by more than 7072 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7072 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 13, 16, 17, 26, 32, 34, 52, 68, 104, 136, 208, 221, 272, 416, 442, 544, 884, 1768, 3536, 7072
Therefore, since 7072 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7072 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
