To determine if 7502 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7502.
If the factors of 7502 are only 7502 and 1, then we know that 7502 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7502 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7502 is only divisible by 1 and 7502, then it is a prime number, and if 7502 is divisible by more than 7502 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7502 are as follows:
1, 2, 11, 22, 31, 62, 121, 242, 341, 682, 3751, 7502
Therefore, since 7502 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7502 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 7503 prime or composite?
