To determine if 3018 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3018.
If the factors of 3018 are only 3018 and 1, then we know that 3018 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3018 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3018 is only divisible by 1 and 3018, then it is a prime number, and if 3018 is divisible by more than 3018 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3018 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 503, 1006, 1509, 3018
Therefore, since 3018 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3018 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 3019 prime or composite?
