A Prime number has exactly two factors, 1 and the number itself. No even number greater than 2 is a prime because any even number can be divided by 2 as well as by 1 and the number itself.

2 is the first prime number, followed by 3, because there are no smaller numbers that can be divided evenly into them.

5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, and 29 are the next primesbecause 1 is the only smaller number with which any of them can be can be divided. All other numbers between 2 and 19 are either even numbers (4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, and 18) except 9 and 15, which can both be divided by 3.
