To determine if 7731 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7731.
If the factors of 7731 are only 7731 and 1, then we know that 7731 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7731 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7731 is only divisible by 1 and 7731, then it is a prime number, and if 7731 is divisible by more than 7731 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7731 are as follows:
1, 3, 9, 859, 2577, 7731
Therefore, since 7731 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7731 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 7732 prime or composite?
