To determine if 7356 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7356.
If the factors of 7356 are only 7356 and 1, then we know that 7356 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7356 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7356 is only divisible by 1 and 7356, then it is a prime number, and if 7356 is divisible by more than 7356 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7356 are as follows:
