Prime Numbers

Prime numbers (or a prime) is a natural number which has exactly two distinct natural number divisors: 1 and itself.

Examples:
2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97, 101, 103, 107, 109, and 113
are some of the prime numbers

Example from the book:
“See because a prime number can’t be reduced. Hannah argued. It’s divisible only by one and itself. Eleven is an odd, upsetting sort of number for me sir.” (pg 254)
