It is 103 which is a prime number because it has only two factors which are itself and one
The lowest prime number is two, because it is the smallest integer that divides by 1 and by itself and not by a third integer. You see, a prime number is a number that only has two factors, one and itself. Many people think one is the smallest prime number but no it isn't. It only has one factor not two factors so it is a perfect number. a prime has exactly two factors.
101 is the first three-digit prime number.
the answer would seem to be ten.
Starting from beginning we see that 0 has infinite factors so it is a composite number and 1 is neither prime nor composite. The next number is 2 which has only two factors so it is the smallest Prime number.
10, which has the factors 1,2,5 and 10. If the trivial pair 1 and the number itself are disallowed, the answer is 12 with factors 2,3,4 and 6.
If you mean the smallest two factors, they are 1 and 2.
