To determine if 7992 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 7992.
If the factors of 7992 are only 7992 and 1, then we know that 7992 is a prime number. Otherwise, 7992 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 7992 is only divisible by 1 and 7992, then it is a prime number, and if 7992 is divisible by more than 7992 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 7992 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 27, 36, 37, 54, 72, 74, 108, 111, 148, 216, 222, 296, 333, 444, 666, 888, 999, 1332, 1998, 2664, 3996, 7992
Therefore, since 7992 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 7992 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
