To determine if 7378 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7378.
If the factors of 7378 are only 7378 and 1, then we know that 7378 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7378 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7378 is only divisible by 1 and 7378, then it is a prime number, and if 7378 is divisible by more than 7378 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7378 are as follows:
1, 2, 7, 14, 17, 31, 34, 62, 119, 217, 238, 434, 527, 1054, 3689, 7378
Therefore, since 7378 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7378 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
