To determine if 7508 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7508.
If the factors of 7508 are only 7508 and 1, then we know that 7508 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7508 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7508 is only divisible by 1 and 7508, then it is a prime number, and if 7508 is divisible by more than 7508 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7508 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 1877, 3754, 7508
Therefore, since 7508 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7508 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
