To determine if 7098 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7098.
If the factors of 7098 are only 7098 and 1, then we know that 7098 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7098 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7098 is only divisible by 1 and 7098, then it is a prime number, and if 7098 is divisible by more than 7098 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7098 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 13, 14, 21, 26, 39, 42, 78, 91, 169, 182, 273, 338, 507, 546, 1014, 1183, 2366, 3549, 7098
Therefore, since 7098 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7098 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
