To determine if 7704 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7704.
If the factors of 7704 are only 7704 and 1, then we know that 7704 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7704 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7704 is only divisible by 1 and 7704, then it is a prime number, and if 7704 is divisible by more than 7704 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7704 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 72, 107, 214, 321, 428, 642, 856, 963, 1284, 1926, 2568, 3852, 7704
Therefore, since 7704 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7704 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
