Hello I just want to say I am really bad at math and have a hard time understanding it. I am currently trying to work with prime numbers but I really do not get it, I've had about 3-4 people explain it to me but I still can not figure it out (doesn't really help that my mother tongue isn't english either), however, does anyone have any EASY EASY tips and trick to understand how to work with it? Like I need you to explain it as if I am a newborn I am at that stage atm....

Prime numbers will only have two factors which is 1 and the number itself. Prime number is whole number which is greater than 1.

#

Answer is 3rd option

2 = 1 *2

#

The number is divided by itself will have remainder 0

2, 5, and 7 are prime numbers because they are only divisible by 1 or themselves. That is the definition of a prime number. Prime factorization means finding the prime factors of any given number that is not a prime itself.

okey so 10 isnt a prime number since it can be divided by 5, 2 and 1?
