To determine if 7836 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7836.
If the factors of 7836 are only 7836 and 1, then we know that 7836 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7836 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7836 is only divisible by 1 and 7836, then it is a prime number, and if 7836 is divisible by more than 7836 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7836 are as follows:
