A Prime number can be divided, without a remainder, only by itself and by 1. For example, 17 can be divided only by 17 and by 1.
Some facts:
Prime numbers are positive integers with only two factors. 2, 3, 5 and 7 are examples of prime numbers.
Numbers that have more than two factors are not prime numbers because prime numbers have only two factors.
All composite numbers are not prime numbers because they have more than two factors
Those are called twin primes. Examples are 11 and 13; or 107 and 109.
Numbers with only two factors, the number itself and one, are called prime numbers. Examples of prime numbers are 2 (which is the only even prime number) and 17.
prime numbers are those numbers which have only two factors,1 and the number itself.. examples:2,3,5,7 etc...
Prime numbers are positive integers with only two factors. 2, 3, 5 and 7 are examples of prime numbers.
prime numbers are numbers that can only be multiplied by 1 and itself...... Examples:17,19,23,31,37,38,39,etc......
Numbers that have more than two factors are not prime numbers because prime numbers have only two factors.
All composite numbers are not prime numbers because they have more than two factors
prime numbers are numbers that can only be divided by its self and one. here is a list of just some prime numbers... --37 --51 --101 --9,991
None of those four numbers are prime numbers.
Because it will have those numbers as factors.
No, there are more normal numbers than prime numbers. Since 2, 3, 5, 13, and 19 are some examples of prime numbers, those only seem to be a few. Remember, numbers can stretch as far as someone wants, so 1,000 isn't a prime number, since you can have 250 and 4 to multiply into it, and 250 and 4 aren't prime numbers. Since the number scale can go on forever, there are more real numbers than prime numbers.
