To determine if 7086 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7086.
If the factors of 7086 are only 7086 and 1, then we know that 7086 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7086 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7086 is only divisible by 1 and 7086, then it is a prime number, and if 7086 is divisible by more than 7086 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7086 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 1181, 2362, 3543, 7086
Therefore, since 7086 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7086 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
