To determine if 7560 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7560.
If the factors of 7560 are only 7560 and 1, then we know that 7560 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7560 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7560 is only divisible by 1 and 7560, then it is a prime number, and if 7560 is divisible by more than 7560 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7560 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 18, 20, 21, 24, 27, 28, 30, 35, 36, 40, 42, 45, 54, 56, 60, 63, 70, 72, 84, 90, 105, 108, 120, 126, 135, 140, 168, 180, 189, 210, 216, 252, 270, 280, 315, 360, 378, 420, 504, 540, 630, 756, 840, 945, 1080, 1260, 1512, 1890, 2520, 3780, 7560
Therefore, since 7560 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7560 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
