To determine if 7310 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7310.
If the factors of 7310 are only 7310 and 1, then we know that 7310 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7310 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7310 is only divisible by 1 and 7310, then it is a prime number, and if 7310 is divisible by more than 7310 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7310 are as follows:
1, 2, 5, 10, 17, 34, 43, 85, 86, 170, 215, 430, 731, 1462, 3655, 7310
Therefore, since 7310 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7310 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 7311 prime or composite?
