To determine if 7076 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7076.
If the factors of 7076 are only 7076 and 1, then we know that 7076 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7076 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7076 is only divisible by 1 and 7076, then it is a prime number, and if 7076 is divisible by more than 7076 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7076 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 29, 58, 61, 116, 122, 244, 1769, 3538, 7076
Therefore, since 7076 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7076 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 7077 prime or composite?
