To determine if 7361 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7361.
If the factors of 7361 are only 7361 and 1, then we know that 7361 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7361 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7361 is only divisible by 1 and 7361, then it is a prime number, and if 7361 is divisible by more than 7361 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7361 are as follows:
1, 17, 433, 7361
Therefore, since 7361 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7361 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
