To determine if 7802 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7802.
If the factors of 7802 are only 7802 and 1, then we know that 7802 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7802 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7802 is only divisible by 1 and 7802, then it is a prime number, and if 7802 is divisible by more than 7802 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7802 are as follows:
1, 2, 47, 83, 94, 166, 3901, 7802
Therefore, since 7802 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7802 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
