To determine if 7373 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7373.
If the factors of 7373 are only 7373 and 1, then we know that 7373 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7373 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7373 is only divisible by 1 and 7373, then it is a prime number, and if 7373 is divisible by more than 7373 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7373 are as follows:
