To determine if 7160 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7160.
If the factors of 7160 are only 7160 and 1, then we know that 7160 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7160 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7160 is only divisible by 1 and 7160, then it is a prime number, and if 7160 is divisible by more than 7160 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7160 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 40, 179, 358, 716, 895, 1432, 1790, 3580, 7160
Therefore, since 7160 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7160 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 7161 prime or composite?
