To determine if 7264 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7264.
If the factors of 7264 are only 7264 and 1, then we know that 7264 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7264 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7264 is only divisible by 1 and 7264, then it is a prime number, and if 7264 is divisible by more than 7264 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7264 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 227, 454, 908, 1816, 3632, 7264
Therefore, since 7264 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7264 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 7265 prime or composite?
