Prime Numbers

Hi Friends,

Today let us discuss about prime numbers. First of all we have to know what is a prime number?
Prime number is nothing but a natural number but it has an own property. That is a number which is divisible by 1 and itself is called as prime number otherwise known as composite number.

In natural numbers prime number starts from 2 and there are exactly 25 prime numbers 1-100.

List of prime numbers are given below:
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.

The most important fact is that the only even prime number is 2.

Except 0 and 1, a number is either a prime number or a composite number.

Finally I am confident about my knowledge over prime numbers and I guess you too.
