To determine if 7293 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7293.
If the factors of 7293 are only 7293 and 1, then we know that 7293 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7293 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7293 is only divisible by 1 and 7293, then it is a prime number, and if 7293 is divisible by more than 7293 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7293 are as follows:
1, 3, 11, 13, 17, 33, 39, 51, 143, 187, 221, 429, 561, 663, 2431, 7293
Therefore, since 7293 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7293 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
