To determine if 7344 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7344.
If the factors of 7344 are only 7344 and 1, then we know that 7344 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7344 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7344 is only divisible by 1 and 7344, then it is a prime number, and if 7344 is divisible by more than 7344 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7344 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 16, 17, 18, 24, 27, 34, 36, 48, 51, 54, 68, 72, 102, 108, 136, 144, 153, 204, 216, 272, 306, 408, 432, 459, 612, 816, 918, 1224, 1836, 2448, 3672, 7344
Therefore, since 7344 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7344 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
