To determine if 7938 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7938.
If the factors of 7938 are only 7938 and 1, then we know that 7938 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7938 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7938 is only divisible by 1 and 7938, then it is a prime number, and if 7938 is divisible by more than 7938 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7938 are as follows:
