The number 2 is 'special' because it is the only prime number that is even.
No special name.
It is the only known even prime number which makes 2 very special.

The number 2 is 'special' because it is the only prime number that is even.
No. With the exception of 2, which is a special case, no even number is prime
No special name.
It is the only known even prime number which makes 2 very special.
A prime number is a special number because it has only two factors which are itself and one.
1 is a special number, neither prime nor composite. A prime number has exactly 2 factors, 1 and the number itself. A composite number has more than two factors. 2 is prime because there are only two factors of 2, 1 and itself.
There is no such thing as THE prime number. Prime numbers are not written in any special way.
Since a prime number can only be divided by itself and one, theoretically, the smallest prime number is 1 itself. However - many people class the number 1 as a 'special' case - and thus claim the smallest prime number is 2.

It depends what you regard as being "special". Once you define the criteria for "special" you can formulate an algorithm that determines whether or not a given number meets that criteria. For instance, if you regard prime numbers as being special, you need a predicate to test whether a given number is zero, prime or composite. If prime then it is indeed special, otherwise it isn't. A predicate is a function that returns true or false depending on its input(s). As a simple example, if we regard even numbers as being special, then we need to test if the number has the prime factor 2. If so, it is special, otherwise it is not. We can test this by dividing the number by 2 and testing the remainder. If the remainder is zero, the number is even and is therefore special. We use the modulo operator (%) to determine the remainder after integer division: bool is_even (int n) { return (n % 2) == 0; }
If the number is < 2 then it is not a prime. If the number is == 2 then it is a prime. If the number is divisible by 2 then it is not a prime and so on.
yes, 2 is a prime number but 1 is not.
