To determine if 7074 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7074.
If the factors of 7074 are only 7074 and 1, then we know that 7074 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7074 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7074 is only divisible by 1 and 7074, then it is a prime number, and if 7074 is divisible by more than 7074 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7074 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, 54, 131, 262, 393, 786, 1179, 2358, 3537, 7074
Therefore, since 7074 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7074 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 7075 prime or composite?
