To determine if 7360 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7360.
If the factors of 7360 are only 7360 and 1, then we know that 7360 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7360 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7360 is only divisible by 1 and 7360, then it is a prime number, and if 7360 is divisible by more than 7360 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7360 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 23, 32, 40, 46, 64, 80, 92, 115, 160, 184, 230, 320, 368, 460, 736, 920, 1472, 1840, 3680, 7360
Therefore, since 7360 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7360 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
