To determine if 7902 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7902.
If the factors of 7902 are only 7902 and 1, then we know that 7902 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7902 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7902 is only divisible by 1 and 7902, then it is a prime number, and if 7902 is divisible by more than 7902 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7902 are as follows:
