To determine if 7884 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7884.
If the factors of 7884 are only 7884 and 1, then we know that 7884 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7884 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7884 is only divisible by 1 and 7884, then it is a prime number, and if 7884 is divisible by more than 7884 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7884 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 54, 73, 108, 146, 219, 292, 438, 657, 876, 1314, 1971, 2628, 3942, 7884
Therefore, since 7884 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7884 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
