There is no symbol to distinguish a Prime number from a composite. However, the single apostrophe symbol is used to denote prime in the context of the derivative of a function (or sometimes another value).

For example, f'(x) is the derivative of f(x) with respect to x.

Or, suppose x and x' are two points on the line L.
