To determine if 7132 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7132.
If the factors of 7132 are only 7132 and 1, then we know that 7132 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7132 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7132 is only divisible by 1 and 7132, then it is a prime number, and if 7132 is divisible by more than 7132 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7132 are as follows:
