To determine if 7701 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7701.
If the factors of 7701 are only 7701 and 1, then we know that 7701 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7701 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7701 is only divisible by 1 and 7701, then it is a prime number, and if 7701 is divisible by more than 7701 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7701 are as follows:
1, 3, 17, 51, 151, 453, 2567, 7701
Therefore, since 7701 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7701 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 7702 prime or composite?
