To determine if 7848 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7848.
If the factors of 7848 are only 7848 and 1, then we know that 7848 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7848 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7848 is only divisible by 1 and 7848, then it is a prime number, and if 7848 is divisible by more than 7848 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7848 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 72, 109, 218, 327, 436, 654, 872, 981, 1308, 1962, 2616, 3924, 7848
Therefore, since 7848 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7848 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
