definition of prime numbers​

Sagot :

A prime number is a natural number greater than 1 that can only be divided by 1 and itself without leaving a remainder. In other words, a prime number has exactly two factors: 1 and itself.

Here are some examples of prime numbers:

  • 2
  • 3
  • 5
  • 7
  • 11
  • 13
  • 17
  • 19
  • 23
  • 29

(These numbers can only be divided by 1 and themselves without leaving a remainder.)

A prime number is a natural number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself. In other words, a prime number can only be divided by 1 and the number itself without resulting in a fraction.

Here are three examples of a prime number:

[tex]\tt{ 2, 5, \: and \: 11.}[/tex]

These numbers are prime because they have exactly two distinct positive divisors: 1 and the number itself.

Then, a prime number can be divided only by itself and by 1.
