To determine if 7816 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7816.
If the factors of 7816 are only 7816 and 1, then we know that 7816 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7816 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7816 is only divisible by 1 and 7816, then it is a prime number, and if 7816 is divisible by more than 7816 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7816 are as follows:
