To determine if 7258 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7258.
If the factors of 7258 are only 7258 and 1, then we know that 7258 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7258 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7258 is only divisible by 1 and 7258, then it is a prime number, and if 7258 is divisible by more than 7258 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7258 are as follows:
1, 2, 19, 38, 191, 382, 3629, 7258
