To determine if 8918 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8918.
If the factors of 8918 are only 8918 and 1, then we know that 8918 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8918 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8918 is only divisible by 1 and 8918, then it is a prime number, and if 8918 is divisible by more than 8918 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8918 are as follows:
1, 2, 7, 13, 14, 26, 49, 91, 98, 182, 343, 637, 686, 1274, 4459, 8918
Therefore, since 8918 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 8918 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
