To determine if 7170 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7170.
If the factors of 7170 are only 7170 and 1, then we know that 7170 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7170 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7170 is only divisible by 1 and 7170, then it is a prime number, and if 7170 is divisible by more than 7170 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7170 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30, 239, 478, 717, 1195, 1434, 2390, 3585, 7170
Therefore, since 7170 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7170 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
