To determine if 7956 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7956.
If the factors of 7956 are only 7956 and 1, then we know that 7956 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7956 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7956 is only divisible by 1 and 7956, then it is a prime number, and if 7956 is divisible by more than 7956 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7956 are as follows:
