To determine if 7772 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7772.
If the factors of 7772 are only 7772 and 1, then we know that 7772 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7772 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7772 is only divisible by 1 and 7772, then it is a prime number, and if 7772 is divisible by more than 7772 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7772 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 29, 58, 67, 116, 134, 268, 1943, 3886, 7772
Therefore, since 7772 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7772 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
