To determine if 7263 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7263.
If the factors of 7263 are only 7263 and 1, then we know that 7263 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7263 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7263 is only divisible by 1 and 7263, then it is a prime number, and if 7263 is divisible by more than 7263 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7263 are as follows:
1, 3, 9, 27, 269, 807, 2421, 7263
