To determine if 7764 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7764.
If the factors of 7764 are only 7764 and 1, then we know that 7764 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7764 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7764 is only divisible by 1 and 7764, then it is a prime number, and if 7764 is divisible by more than 7764 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7764 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 647, 1294, 1941, 2588, 3882, 7764
Therefore, since 7764 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7764 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
