Frequently Asked Questions
What is a prime number?
A prime number is a positive integer greater than 1 that has exactly two factors: 1 and itself. For example, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, and 13 are prime numbers.
What is prime factorization?
Prime factorization is breaking a composite number down into its prime factors. For example, 84 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 7.
Is 1 a prime number?
No. By definition, a prime number must have exactly two distinct positive divisors. The number 1 has only one divisor (itself), so it is neither prime nor composite.
What is the largest prime number?
There is no largest prime number. Euclid proved over 2,000 years ago that there are infinitely many prime numbers. The largest known prime (as of 2024) has over 24 million digits.
