To determine if 7304 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7304.
If the factors of 7304 are only 7304 and 1, then we know that 7304 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7304 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7304 is only divisible by 1 and 7304, then it is a prime number, and if 7304 is divisible by more than 7304 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7304 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 22, 44, 83, 88, 166, 332, 664, 913, 1826, 3652, 7304
Therefore, since 7304 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7304 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
