Recall the definition of prime numbers:

Definition of prime numbers. What are prime numbers? Prime numbers are counting numbers that can be divided evenly by only two numbers which is one and itself. A prime number has exactly two factors, 1 and itself (prime factor).

• 0 has only one factor = 0 so 0 is not a prime number.

• 1 has only one factor = 1 so 1 is not a prime number.

• 2 has 2 factors = 1 and 2 so 2 is a prime number. 1 is a factor of 2 because 1 divides evenly into 2. 2 is also a factor of 2 since 2 divided by 2 is 1, an even number.

• 3 has 2 factors = 1 and 3.
• Note that 2 is not a factor of 3 because 3 divided by 2 does not give a whole number. 3 divided by 2 is 1.5. So, 2 is not a factor of 3.
