Fun facts about prime numbers
All numbers greater than 1 that are divisible by 1 and that number are called prime numbers.
Natural numbers are positive integers. That is, 1, 2, 3, 4… all such positive integers are natural numbers.
Natural numbers are of 3 types:
- Prime numbers.
- Composite numbers and
- One.
Definition of Prime number
A number that has only two positive factor is called a prime number. For example: 3 have two positive factor 1 and 3 (i.e. 3 can only be divided or divisible by 1 and 3). So, 3 is a prime number.
Similarly, 19 is a prime number. Because the factors of 19 are 1 and 19. That means, 19 have two factors. So, 19 is a prime number.
The definition of prime number can be stated in another way: A prime number is a whole number greater than 1 whose only factors are 1 and itself.
For example: 5 is a prime number. Because 5 is divisible only by 1 and 5.
Why 1 is not a prime number:
A prime number has only two factors. For example: 1 and 7 are factors of 7. So, 7 is a prime number. But, the factor of 1 is only 1 that is 1 has one factor. So, 1 is not a prime number.
Smallest Prime Number:
The smallest prime number is 2. Also, 2 is an even number. There are no other even prime numbers except 2.
Largest Prime Number:
The largest prime number cannot be determined, it is infinite.
An interesting matter about prime number fact is that this is the largest prime number discovered 242589933 – 1. This number has a total of 24862,048 digits. What a large number!
