To determine if 7458 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7458.
If the factors of 7458 are only 7458 and 1, then we know that 7458 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7458 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7458 is only divisible by 1 and 7458, then it is a prime number, and if 7458 is divisible by more than 7458 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7458 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 11, 22, 33, 66, 113, 226, 339, 678, 1243, 2486, 3729, 7458
Therefore, since 7458 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7458 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
