To determine if 7952 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7952.
If the factors of 7952 are only 7952 and 1, then we know that 7952 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7952 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7952 is only divisible by 1 and 7952, then it is a prime number, and if 7952 is divisible by more than 7952 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7952 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 16, 28, 56, 71, 112, 142, 284, 497, 568, 994, 1136, 1988, 3976, 7952
Therefore, since 7952 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
