To determine if 8018 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8018.
If the factors of 8018 are only 8018 and 1, then we know that 8018 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8018 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8018 is only divisible by 1 and 8018, then it is a prime number, and if 8018 is divisible by more than 8018 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8018 are as follows:
1, 2, 19, 38, 211, 422, 4009, 8018
Therefore, since 8018 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8018 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
