To determine if 7460 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7460.
If the factors of 7460 are only 7460 and 1, then we know that 7460 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7460 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7460 is only divisible by 1 and 7460, then it is a prime number, and if 7460 is divisible by more than 7460 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7460 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 373, 746, 1492, 1865, 3730, 7460
Therefore, since 7460 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7460 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
