This is a simple, yet accurate definition of a Prime number: "an integer that has no integral factors but itself and 1." The number 2 only has two integral factors: 1 & 2. Since the definition says it must have no factors besides 1 and itself (2), the number 2 must be prime.
No. You must have more than one number listed in order for them to be considered consecutive numbers.
2 is a prime number. Two or more numbers are said to be "relatively prime" if they have no common factor greater than 1.
Negative numbers cannot be prime, so the answer is no.
Yes!
2 is prime
It is: 2*2*2*29 = 232
2 and 29
A prime number has exactly two factors, 1 and the number itself. Since 232 is an even number, it also has 2 as a factor so it is a composite number.
The prime factors of 232 are: 2, 29
For 232: 2, 29
232 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 29As a product of its prime factors: 2*2*2*29 = 232

232 is an even number and so cannot be prime. A prime number has only 2 factors which are 1 and itself. Composite numbers are every other positive integer except 1 and 0. 1 and 0 are neither prime, nor composite.
2 x 2 x 2 x 29 = 232
2 x 2 x 2 x 29 = 232
3*85
232 ÷ 2 = 116.
