To determine if 7080 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7080.
If the factors of 7080 are only 7080 and 1, then we know that 7080 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7080 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7080 is only divisible by 1 and 7080, then it is a prime number, and if 7080 is divisible by more than 7080 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7080 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 24, 30, 40, 59, 60, 118, 120, 177, 236, 295, 354, 472, 590, 708, 885, 1180, 1416, 1770, 2360, 3540, 7080
Therefore, since 7080 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7080 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 7081 prime or composite?
