To determine if 7548 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7548.
If the factors of 7548 are only 7548 and 1, then we know that 7548 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7548 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7548 is only divisible by 1 and 7548, then it is a prime number, and if 7548 is divisible by more than 7548 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7548 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 17, 34, 37, 51, 68, 74, 102, 111, 148, 204, 222, 444, 629, 1258, 1887, 2516, 3774, 7548
Therefore, since 7548 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7548 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
