To determine if 7968 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7968.
If the factors of 7968 are only 7968 and 1, then we know that 7968 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7968 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7968 is only divisible by 1 and 7968, then it is a prime number, and if 7968 is divisible by more than 7968 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7968 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 48, 83, 96, 166, 249, 332, 498, 664, 996, 1328, 1992, 2656, 3984, 7968
Therefore, since 7968 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7968 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
