To determine if 7088 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7088.
If the factors of 7088 are only 7088 and 1, then we know that 7088 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7088 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7088 is only divisible by 1 and 7088, then it is a prime number, and if 7088 is divisible by more than 7088 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7088 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 443, 886, 1772, 3544, 7088
