To determine if 7600 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7600.
If the factors of 7600 are only 7600 and 1, then we know that 7600 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7600 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7600 is only divisible by 1 and 7600, then it is a prime number, and if 7600 is divisible by more than 7600 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7600 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 19, 20, 25, 38, 40, 50, 76, 80, 95, 100, 152, 190, 200, 304, 380, 400, 475, 760, 950, 1520, 1900, 3800, 7600
Therefore, since 7600 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7600 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
