Yes, prime numbers are not only whole numbers. Just because you divide a smaller number with a bigger number that really means that all decimal numbers are composite numbers.
say 3-1 was a problem. 3 to the negative 1st power is 1/3 to the first power. any decimal is composite. decimals can go on and on and on......
I hope this helps :)

Are whole numbers prime?
No because whole numbers that have only two factors are prime numbers
Are whole numbers and prime numbers the same?
No. Prime numbers are a subset of whole numbers.
What prime numbers end in a 2 or 5?
5 and 2 are the only prime numbers that end in a 5 or 2. A prime number is by definition only divisible by 1 and itself, and all other whole numbers ending in 5 or 2 are divisible by 5 or 2, respectively. Numbers that are not whole numbers cannot be prime.
How do you change whole numbers to prime numbers?
You don't. All prime numbers are also whole numbers.
What are all the prime numbers from 1-2?
The only prime number in that whole range is 2.
