To determine if 7134 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7134.
If the factors of 7134 are only 7134 and 1, then we know that 7134 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7134 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7134 is only divisible by 1 and 7134, then it is a prime number, and if 7134 is divisible by more than 7134 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7134 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 29, 41, 58, 82, 87, 123, 174, 246, 1189, 2378, 3567, 7134
Therefore, since 7134 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7134 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
