To determine if 7273 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7273.
If the factors of 7273 are only 7273 and 1, then we know that 7273 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7273 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7273 is only divisible by 1 and 7273, then it is a prime number, and if 7273 is divisible by more than 7273 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7273 are as follows:
