To determine if 7852 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7852.
If the factors of 7852 are only 7852 and 1, then we know that 7852 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7852 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7852 is only divisible by 1 and 7852, then it is a prime number, and if 7852 is divisible by more than 7852 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7852 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 13, 26, 52, 151, 302, 604, 1963, 3926, 7852
Therefore, since 7852 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7852 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
