To determine if 7164 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7164.
If the factors of 7164 are only 7164 and 1, then we know that 7164 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7164 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7164 is only divisible by 1 and 7164, then it is a prime number, and if 7164 is divisible by more than 7164 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7164 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36, 199, 398, 597, 796, 1194, 1791, 2388, 3582, 7164
Therefore, since 7164 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7164 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
