To determine if 9018 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 9018.
If the factors of 9018 are only 9018 and 1, then we know that 9018 is a prime number. Otherwise, 9018 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 9018 is only divisible by 1 and 9018, then it is a prime number, and if 9018 is divisible by more than 9018 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 9018 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, 54, 167, 334, 501, 1002, 1503, 3006, 4509, 9018
Therefore, since 9018 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 9018 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 9019 prime or composite?
