To determine if 7266 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7266.
If the factors of 7266 are only 7266 and 1, then we know that 7266 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7266 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7266 is only divisible by 1 and 7266, then it is a prime number, and if 7266 is divisible by more than 7266 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7266 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 42, 173, 346, 519, 1038, 1211, 2422, 3633, 7266
Therefore, since 7266 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7266 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 7267 prime or composite?
