To determine if 7888 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7888.
If the factors of 7888 are only 7888 and 1, then we know that 7888 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7888 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7888 is only divisible by 1 and 7888, then it is a prime number, and if 7888 is divisible by more than 7888 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7888 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 17, 29, 34, 58, 68, 116, 136, 232, 272, 464, 493, 986, 1972, 3944, 7888
Therefore, since 7888 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7888 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
