To determine if 7202 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7202.
If the factors of 7202 are only 7202 and 1, then we know that 7202 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7202 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7202 is only divisible by 1 and 7202, then it is a prime number, and if 7202 is divisible by more than 7202 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7202 are as follows:
1, 2, 13, 26, 277, 554, 3601, 7202
Therefore, since 7202 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7202 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
