To determine if 7446 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7446.
If the factors of 7446 are only 7446 and 1, then we know that 7446 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7446 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7446 is only divisible by 1 and 7446, then it is a prime number, and if 7446 is divisible by more than 7446 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7446 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 17, 34, 51, 73, 102, 146, 219, 438, 1241, 2482, 3723, 7446
Therefore, since 7446 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7446 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
