To determine if 7204 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7204.
If the factors of 7204 are only 7204 and 1, then we know that 7204 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7204 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7204 is only divisible by 1 and 7204, then it is a prime number, and if 7204 is divisible by more than 7204 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7204 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 1801, 3602, 7204
Therefore, since 7204 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7204 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
