To determine if 7402 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7402.
If the factors of 7402 are only 7402 and 1, then we know that 7402 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7402 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7402 is only divisible by 1 and 7402, then it is a prime number, and if 7402 is divisible by more than 7402 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7402 are as follows:
1, 2, 3701, 7402
Therefore, since 7402 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7402 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
