To determine if 7632 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7632.
If the factors of 7632 are only 7632 and 1, then we know that 7632 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7632 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7632 is only divisible by 1 and 7632, then it is a prime number, and if 7632 is divisible by more than 7632 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7632 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 16, 18, 24, 36, 48, 53, 72, 106, 144, 159, 212, 318, 424, 477, 636, 848, 954, 1272, 1908, 2544, 3816, 7632
Therefore, since 7632 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7632 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
