To determine if 7950 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7950.
If the factors of 7950 are only 7950 and 1, then we know that 7950 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7950 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7950 is only divisible by 1 and 7950, then it is a prime number, and if 7950 is divisible by more than 7950 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7950 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 25, 30, 50, 53, 75, 106, 150, 159, 265, 318, 530, 795, 1325, 1590, 2650, 3975, 7950
Therefore, since 7950 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7950 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 7951 prime or composite?
