To determine if 7235 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7235.
If the factors of 7235 are only 7235 and 1, then we know that 7235 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7235 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7235 is only divisible by 1 and 7235, then it is a prime number, and if 7235 is divisible by more than 7235 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7235 are as follows:
