Best Answer

Numbers can be checked to see if they are primes simply by factoring them. Every Prime number has exactly two factors, 1 and the number itself. If there are more or less than 2 factors, the number is not a prime. 1 has only one factor so it is not a prime, and composite numbers have 3 or more factors.
