To determine if 7470 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7470.
If the factors of 7470 are only 7470 and 1, then we know that 7470 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7470 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7470 is only divisible by 1 and 7470, then it is a prime number, and if 7470 is divisible by more than 7470 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7470 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 15, 18, 30, 45, 83, 90, 166, 249, 415, 498, 747, 830, 1245, 1494, 2490, 3735, 7470
Therefore, since 7470 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7470 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
