To determine if 7550 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7550.
If the factors of 7550 are only 7550 and 1, then we know that 7550 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7550 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7550 is only divisible by 1 and 7550, then it is a prime number, and if 7550 is divisible by more than 7550 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7550 are as follows:
1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, 151, 302, 755, 1510, 3775, 7550
Therefore, since 7550 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7550 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 7551 prime or composite?
