9018

9018 is a natural number that comes after 9017 and before 9019. In mathematics, it is an even composite integer with a straightforward prime factorization: 9018 = 2 × 3^3 × 167.

This factorization implies several properties. The number has 16 positive divisors: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, 54, 167, 334, 501, 1002, 1503, 3006, 4509, and 9018. It is divisible by 9 and by 3, reflecting the presence of 3^3 in its prime decomposition. Because the primes congruent to 3 mod 4 (namely 3 and 167) appear with odd exponents, 9018 cannot be expressed as a sum of two squares.

Beyond pure mathematics, 9018 frequently appears as a numerical designation in catalogs, product codes, model numbers, or identifiers in various industries. In such contexts, its meaning is contextual and not tied to a single universally defined concept. As a plain integer, 9018 is primarily of interest for its arithmetic structure and its role within numerical sequences.
