To determine if 7601 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7601.
If the factors of 7601 are only 7601 and 1, then we know that 7601 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7601 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7601 is only divisible by 1 and 7601, then it is a prime number, and if 7601 is divisible by more than 7601 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7601 are as follows:
1, 11, 691, 7601
Therefore, since 7601 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7601 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 7602 prime or composite?
