To determine if 7490 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7490.
If the factors of 7490 are only 7490 and 1, then we know that 7490 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7490 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7490 is only divisible by 1 and 7490, then it is a prime number, and if 7490 is divisible by more than 7490 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7490 are as follows:
1, 2, 5, 7, 10, 14, 35, 70, 107, 214, 535, 749, 1070, 1498, 3745, 7490
Therefore, since 7490 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7490 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
