To determine if 7471 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7471.
If the factors of 7471 are only 7471 and 1, then we know that 7471 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7471 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7471 is only divisible by 1 and 7471, then it is a prime number, and if 7471 is divisible by more than 7471 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7471 are as follows:
