To determine if 7602 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7602.
If the factors of 7602 are only 7602 and 1, then we know that 7602 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7602 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7602 is only divisible by 1 and 7602, then it is a prime number, and if 7602 is divisible by more than 7602 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7602 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 42, 181, 362, 543, 1086, 1267, 2534, 3801, 7602
Therefore, since 7602 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7602 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 7603 prime or composite?
