To determine if 7551 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7551.
If the factors of 7551 are only 7551 and 1, then we know that 7551 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7551 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7551 is only divisible by 1 and 7551, then it is a prime number, and if 7551 is divisible by more than 7551 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7551 are as follows:
1, 3, 9, 839, 2517, 7551
Therefore, since 7551 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7551 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
