To determine if 7696 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7696.
If the factors of 7696 are only 7696 and 1, then we know that 7696 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7696 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7696 is only divisible by 1 and 7696, then it is a prime number, and if 7696 is divisible by more than 7696 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7696 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 13, 16, 26, 37, 52, 74, 104, 148, 208, 296, 481, 592, 962, 1924, 3848, 7696
Therefore, since 7696 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7696 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
