To determine if 7208 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7208.
If the factors of 7208 are only 7208 and 1, then we know that 7208 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7208 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7208 is only divisible by 1 and 7208, then it is a prime number, and if 7208 is divisible by more than 7208 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7208 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 17, 34, 53, 68, 106, 136, 212, 424, 901, 1802, 3604, 7208
Therefore, since 7208 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7208 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 7209 prime or composite?
