To determine if 7276 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7276.
If the factors of 7276 are only 7276 and 1, then we know that 7276 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7276 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7276 is only divisible by 1 and 7276, then it is a prime number, and if 7276 is divisible by more than 7276 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7276 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 17, 34, 68, 107, 214, 428, 1819, 3638, 7276
Therefore, since 7276 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7276 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
