To determine if 7324 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7324.
If the factors of 7324 are only 7324 and 1, then we know that 7324 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7324 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7324 is only divisible by 1 and 7324, then it is a prime number, and if 7324 is divisible by more than 7324 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7324 are as follows:
