To determine if 7214 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7214.
If the factors of 7214 are only 7214 and 1, then we know that 7214 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7214 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7214 is only divisible by 1 and 7214, then it is a prime number, and if 7214 is divisible by more than 7214 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7214 are as follows:
