A prime number is a positive integer with two factors: one and the number itself.
11 and 13
A prime number has only 2 factors which are 1 and itself. Composite numbers are everything else except 1 and 0. 1 and 0 are neither prime, nor composite.
You cannot find the first 15 prime numbers by dividing by 2 and 3. This method would not identify 25 as being a composite.
To determine the probability of spinning a prime number on a spinner, we first need to identify the prime numbers on the spinner. Prime numbers are integers greater than 1 that are only divisible by 1 and themselves. Common prime numbers less than 10 include 2, 3, 5, and 7. If the spinner has numbers 1 through 10, there are 4 prime numbers out of 10 possible outcomes. Therefore, the probability of spinning a prime number on the spinner is 4/10 or 40%.
