To determine if 2418 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 2418.
If the factors of 2418 are only 2418 and 1, then we know that 2418 is a prime number. Otherwise, 2418 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 2418 is only divisible by 1 and 2418, then it is a prime number, and if 2418 is divisible by more than 2418 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 2418 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 13, 26, 31, 39, 62, 78, 93, 186, 403, 806, 1209, 2418
Therefore, since 2418 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 2418 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 2419 prime or composite?
