To determine if 7868 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7868.
If the factors of 7868 are only 7868 and 1, then we know that 7868 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7868 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7868 is only divisible by 1 and 7868, then it is a prime number, and if 7868 is divisible by more than 7868 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7868 are as follows:
