Factors of 3018:
- If we have taken numbers from 1, 2, 3…for checking factors of 3018, we found that 3018 has factors 1, 2, 3, 6, 503, 1006, 1509 and 3018. Hence, we must say that 3018 is a composite number.
- Thus, 3018 is the composite number.
- If we multiply 3018 by 1, 2, 3 then we get the multiples of 3018 which are 3018, 6036 and so on.
About the number 3018:
- 3018 has more than two factors which are 1, 2, 3, 6, 503, 1006, 1509 and 3018 and hence it is the composite number.
- 3018 is the even composite number and it is not the perfect square also.
- If we divide 3018 by, 1, 2, 3, 6, 503, 1006, 1509 and 3018 then we get remainder as zero. Hence, 1, 2, 3, 6, 503, 1006, 1509 and 3018 are the factors of 3018.
Note:
- 3018 is not the perfect square.
- Factors of 3018: 1, 2, 3, 6, 503, 1006, 1509 and 3018
- Prime factors of 3018: 2, 3, 503
Conclusion:
- 3018 is the composite number which has factors, 1, 2, 3, 6, 503, 1006, 1509 and 3018
- And hence, 3018 is not the prime number.
