To determine if 7322 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7322.
If the factors of 7322 are only 7322 and 1, then we know that 7322 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7322 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7322 is only divisible by 1 and 7322, then it is a prime number, and if 7322 is divisible by more than 7322 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7322 are as follows:
1, 2, 7, 14, 523, 1046, 3661, 7322
