To determine if 7736 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7736.
If the factors of 7736 are only 7736 and 1, then we know that 7736 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7736 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7736 is only divisible by 1 and 7736, then it is a prime number, and if 7736 is divisible by more than 7736 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7736 are as follows:
