To determine if 7801 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7801.
If the factors of 7801 are only 7801 and 1, then we know that 7801 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7801 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7801 is only divisible by 1 and 7801, then it is a prime number, and if 7801 is divisible by more than 7801 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7801 are as follows:
1, 29, 269, 7801
Therefore, since 7801 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7801 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 7802 prime or composite?
OK. Now you know that 7801 is a composite number. Use our logic above and see if
you can figure out if the next number on our list is prime or composite before you check your answer.
