To determine if 7661 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7661.
If the factors of 7661 are only 7661 and 1, then we know that 7661 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7661 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7661 is only divisible by 1 and 7661, then it is a prime number, and if 7661 is divisible by more than 7661 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7661 are as follows:
1, 47, 163, 7661
Therefore, since 7661 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7661 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
