To determine if 7101 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7101.
If the factors of 7101 are only 7101 and 1, then we know that 7101 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7101 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7101 is only divisible by 1 and 7101, then it is a prime number, and if 7101 is divisible by more than 7101 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7101 are as follows:
1, 3, 9, 27, 263, 789, 2367, 7101
Therefore, since 7101 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7101 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 7102 prime or composite?
