To determine if 7408 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7408.
If the factors of 7408 are only 7408 and 1, then we know that 7408 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7408 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7408 is only divisible by 1 and 7408, then it is a prime number, and if 7408 is divisible by more than 7408 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7408 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 463, 926, 1852, 3704, 7408
