 What is a prime number?

Answer:

A prime number is that number that has only two divisors or factors.The first divisor or factor is 1 and the second divisor or factor is itself.

●A prime number is that number that is the product of 1 and itself.

●A prime number has the following characteristics:

1.It is greater than 1

2.It has only two factors.

3.It can't be negative number.It is always positive number.

Now let us take some examples.

●2 is an example of a prime number because it has only two divisors.The first divisor is 1 and the second divisor is 2 (itself)

2 =1×2

The number 2 is a prime number because it is the product of 1 and itself.

●3 is an example of a prime number because it has only two divisors.The first divisor is 1 and the second divisor is 3 (itself)

3 =1× 3

The number 3 is a prime number because it is the product of 1 and itself.

●5 is an example of a prime number because it has only two divisors.The first divisor is 1 and the second divisor is 5 (itself)

5=1×5

The number 5 is a prime number because it is the product of 1 and itself.

●1 is not an example of a prime number because it has only one divisor that is 1.

●7 is an example of a prime number because it has only two divisors.The first divisor is 1 and the second divisor is 7 (itself)

7=1×7

The number 7 is a prime number because it is the product of 1 and itself.

●11 is an example of a prime number because it has only two divisors.The first divisor is 1 and the second divisor is 11 (itself)

11=1×11

The number 11 is a prime number because it is the product of 1 and itself.
