To determine if 7635 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7635.
If the factors of 7635 are only 7635 and 1, then we know that 7635 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7635 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7635 is only divisible by 1 and 7635, then it is a prime number, and if 7635 is divisible by more than 7635 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7635 are as follows:
