To determine if 7291 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7291.
If the factors of 7291 are only 7291 and 1, then we know that 7291 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7291 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7291 is only divisible by 1 and 7291, then it is a prime number, and if 7291 is divisible by more than 7291 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7291 are as follows:
1, 23, 317, 7291
Therefore, since 7291 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7291 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
