To determine if 7702 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7702.
If the factors of 7702 are only 7702 and 1, then we know that 7702 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7702 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7702 is only divisible by 1 and 7702, then it is a prime number, and if 7702 is divisible by more than 7702 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7702 are as follows:
1, 2, 3851, 7702
Therefore, since 7702 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7702 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
