To determine if 7722 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7722.
If the factors of 7722 are only 7722 and 1, then we know that 7722 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7722 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7722 is only divisible by 1 and 7722, then it is a prime number, and if 7722 is divisible by more than 7722 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7722 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 11, 13, 18, 22, 26, 27, 33, 39, 54, 66, 78, 99, 117, 143, 198, 234, 286, 297, 351, 429, 594, 702, 858, 1287, 2574, 3861, 7722
Therefore, since 7722 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7722 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
