To determine if 4018 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 4018.
If the factors of 4018 are only 4018 and 1, then we know that 4018 is a prime number. Otherwise, 4018 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 4018 is only divisible by 1 and 4018, then it is a prime number, and if 4018 is divisible by more than 4018 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 4018 are as follows:
1, 2, 7, 14, 41, 49, 82, 98, 287, 574, 2009, 4018
Therefore, since 4018 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 4018 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 4019 prime or composite?
