Prime NumbersThose natural numbers which are greater than 1 and having only two factors are called prime numbers. One factor is '1', and the other is 'number itself'. Those natural numbers which are greater than 1 and having more than two factors are called composite numbers. For example: The number 7 has only two factors 1 and 7, so it is a prime number. The number 9 has more than two factors. It has three factors 1, 3, and 9. So 9 is not a prime number. Note: 1 is neither the composite number nor a prime number.Following are the first ten prime numbers: 2 3 5 7 11 13 17 19 23 29 List of Prime Numbers from 1 to 100

How to Calculate the Prime numberIf we want to check the given number is prime or not, then we have to follow the following steps:
Solved Questions of Prime NumbersExample 1: Is the number 8 prime or NOT? Solution: The given number is 8. The factors of 8 are 1, 2, 4, and 8. Thus the number 8 has 4 factors. Since the number of factors of 8 is NOT exactly 2, so it is NOT a prime number (so 8 is a composite number). Answer: 8 is not a prime number. Example 2: Is the number 29 prime or NOT? Solution: The given number is 29. The factors of 29 are 1 and 29. Thus the number 29 has exactly 2 factors. Since the number of factors of 29 is exactly 2, so it is a prime number. Answer: 29 is a prime number. Example 3: Which of the following given numbers are prime? 1, 7.3, 17, 18, 23, 25, 71, 4/5, 100, 123. Solution: 17, 23, 71 are prime numbers. The factors of these numbers are 1 and the number itself. So, these above numbers are prime. And, the numbers which are left are not prime numbers. 1: It is not greater than 1 7.3: It is a decimal number 18: Factors of 18 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, and 18. 25: Factors of 25 are 1, 5, and 25. 4/5: It is not a whole number 100: Factors of 25 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100. 123: Factors of 25 are 1, 3, 41, and 123.
