To determine if 7450 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7450.
If the factors of 7450 are only 7450 and 1, then we know that 7450 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7450 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7450 is only divisible by 1 and 7450, then it is a prime number, and if 7450 is divisible by more than 7450 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7450 are as follows:
1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, 149, 298, 745, 1490, 3725, 7450
Therefore, since 7450 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7450 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 7451 prime or composite?
