Prime Numbers

I have received many positive comments on my previous post, i am very glad to know that my readers like the work i do. Well, with the similar efforts i have also created this new post which i am sure will be appreciated by you all.

I want to introduce Prime numbers to you, What do you mean by Prime numbers? This is what i will let you know now.

Introduction of Prime Numbers:-

Prime number is an integer that has no integral factor but '1' and itself. In other words, It is a whole number greater than one that has exactly two unique factors, i.e. "1" and itself.

The numbers which can be called as Prime numbers are as mentioned below:-
2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, …

Composite Numbers:-

The number which has factors other than one and itself. Eg:- 21,.....

Twin Prime numbers:-

Now, that you are clear with Prime numbers and Composite numbers, you must know Twin Prime numbers too.

If there is only one composite number between two primes,the primes said to be twin prime numbers.

For example: (5 and 7) In between 5 and 7 the only one composite number is 6.

This is a very easy way to understand what type of numbers we all are working with. Didn't you find it easy. Awaiting for your comments.
