To determine if 7504 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7504.
If the factors of 7504 are only 7504 and 1, then we know that 7504 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7504 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7504 is only divisible by 1 and 7504, then it is a prime number, and if 7504 is divisible by more than 7504 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7504 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 16, 28, 56, 67, 112, 134, 268, 469, 536, 938, 1072, 1876, 3752, 7504
Therefore, since 7504 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7504 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
