Prime numbers are natural numbers greater than 1 that have no positive divisors other than 1 and themselves. In other words, a prime number is only divisible by 1 and itself. For example, the first few prime numbers are:
- 2
- 3
- 5
- 7
- 11
- 13
- 17
- 19
- 23
- 29
It's important to note that 2 is the only even prime number; all other even numbers can be divided by 2, making them composite (having divisors other than 1 and themselves). A number that is not prime is called a composite number.
