To determine if 7546 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7546.
If the factors of 7546 are only 7546 and 1, then we know that 7546 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7546 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7546 is only divisible by 1 and 7546, then it is a prime number, and if 7546 is divisible by more than 7546 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7546 are as follows:
1, 2, 7, 11, 14, 22, 49, 77, 98, 154, 343, 539, 686, 1078, 3773, 7546
Therefore, since 7546 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7546 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
