To determine if 7323 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7323.
If the factors of 7323 are only 7323 and 1, then we know that 7323 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7323 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7323 is only divisible by 1 and 7323, then it is a prime number, and if 7323 is divisible by more than 7323 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7323 are as follows:
