To determine if 7102 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7102.
If the factors of 7102 are only 7102 and 1, then we know that 7102 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7102 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7102 is only divisible by 1 and 7102, then it is a prime number, and if 7102 is divisible by more than 7102 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7102 are as follows:
1, 2, 53, 67, 106, 134, 3551, 7102
Therefore, since 7102 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7102 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
