To determine if 7464 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7464.
If the factors of 7464 are only 7464 and 1, then we know that 7464 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7464 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7464 is only divisible by 1 and 7464, then it is a prime number, and if 7464 is divisible by more than 7464 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7464 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 311, 622, 933, 1244, 1866, 2488, 3732, 7464
Therefore, since 7464 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7464 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
