To determine if 7656 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7656.
If the factors of 7656 are only 7656 and 1, then we know that 7656 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7656 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7656 is only divisible by 1 and 7656, then it is a prime number, and if 7656 is divisible by more than 7656 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7656 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 11, 12, 22, 24, 29, 33, 44, 58, 66, 87, 88, 116, 132, 174, 232, 264, 319, 348, 638, 696, 957, 1276, 1914, 2552, 3828, 7656
Therefore, since 7656 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7656 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
