To determine if 7268 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7268.
If the factors of 7268 are only 7268 and 1, then we know that 7268 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7268 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7268 is only divisible by 1 and 7268, then it is a prime number, and if 7268 is divisible by more than 7268 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7268 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 23, 46, 79, 92, 158, 316, 1817, 3634, 7268
Therefore, since 7268 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7268 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
