What is prime number?

Prime number is a positive natural number that has only two positive natural number divisors - one and the number itself.

Prime numbers are subset of natural numbers. A natural number is a positive natural number that has at least one positive divisor other than one or itself.

The number 1 is not a prime number by definition - it has only one divisor.

The number 0 is not a prime number - it is not a positive number and has infinite number of divisors.

The number 15 has divisors of 1,3,5,15 because:

15/1=15

15/3=5

15/5=3

15/15=1

So 15 is not a prime number.

The number 13 has only two divisors of 1,13.

13/1=13

13/13=1

So 13 is a prime number.
