To determine if 7668 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7668.
If the factors of 7668 are only 7668 and 1, then we know that 7668 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7668 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7668 is only divisible by 1 and 7668, then it is a prime number, and if 7668 is divisible by more than 7668 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7668 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 54, 71, 108, 142, 213, 284, 426, 639, 852, 1278, 1917, 2556, 3834, 7668
Therefore, since 7668 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7668 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
