To determine if 7081 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7081.
If the factors of 7081 are only 7081 and 1, then we know that 7081 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7081 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7081 is only divisible by 1 and 7081, then it is a prime number, and if 7081 is divisible by more than 7081 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7081 are as follows:
1, 73, 97, 7081
Therefore, since 7081 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7081 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 7082 prime or composite?
