To determine if 7312 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7312.
If the factors of 7312 are only 7312 and 1, then we know that 7312 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7312 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7312 is only divisible by 1 and 7312, then it is a prime number, and if 7312 is divisible by more than 7312 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7312 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 457, 914, 1828, 3656, 7312
Therefore, since 7312 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7312 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
