To determine if 7808 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7808.
If the factors of 7808 are only 7808 and 1, then we know that 7808 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7808 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7808 is only divisible by 1 and 7808, then it is a prime number, and if 7808 is divisible by more than 7808 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7808 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 61, 64, 122, 128, 244, 488, 976, 1952, 3904, 7808
Therefore, since 7808 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7808 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
