prime numbers are invented by srinivasan ramanujan, an Indian mathematician.
Any two prime numbers will be relatively prime. Numbers are relatively prime if they do not have any prime factors in common. Prime numbers have only themselves as prime factors, so all prime numbers are relatively prime to the others.
The opposite of prime numbers are composite numbers.
Products of prime numbers are composite numbers.
There are more than 25 prime numbers; there are an infinite number of prime numbers.
ancient Greek mathematician name not mentioned
The first man to define prime numbers in 300 BC. was a Greek mathematician named Euclid.
Euclid
Yes, there is an infinite amount of prime numbers. This has been proven by the ancient Greek mathematician Euclid. As for composite numbers, since there are infinitely many natural numbers, there must also be an infinite amount of composite numbers, as they are all the natural numbers that are not prime.
They were known to the early Greeks. The Pythagoreans referred to primes around 400BC. The Greek mathematician, Euclid talked about prime numbers in his work entitled "Elements". This was 300BC. I don't think they were recognised earlier by the Babylonians.
prime numbers are invented by srinivasan ramanujan, an Indian mathematician.
Euclid was a Greek mathematician, and is called the father of geometry. A prime number is any number that can only be divided by itself and one. There are an infinite number of prime numbers. As a mathematician Euclid was interested the pursuit of knowledge for knowledge's sake and in proving that things could be quantified (how many, how much). In the case of primes the answer of "there are an infinitely large number of primes" was not available to him as the Greeks did not have the concept of "infinite".

The mathematical term "sieve of Eratosthenes" is defined as a simple algorithm for finding all prime numbers up to a given limit. It is named after a famous Greek mathematician of the same name.
The method of sieving the multiples of prime numbers until only the prime numbers remain, while attributed to Eratosthenes, is originally thought to have been the work of Nicomachus.
