To determine if 7284 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7284.
If the factors of 7284 are only 7284 and 1, then we know that 7284 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7284 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7284 is only divisible by 1 and 7284, then it is a prime number, and if 7284 is divisible by more than 7284 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7284 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 607, 1214, 1821, 2428, 3642, 7284
Therefore, since 7284 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7284 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
