What is a Prime Number?
A prime number is a whole number greater than 1 whose only divisors are 1 and itself. For example, 2, 3, 5, 7, and 11 are prime. Numbers that have more than two divisors (like 4, which can be divided by 2) are called composite numbers.
Why do Primes matter?
Prime numbers are the building blocks of mathematics, but their most important modern application is in cybersecurity. Modern encryption algorithms (like RSA) rely heavily on the fact that multiplying two huge prime numbers together is easy, but factoring the result back into those two primes is computationally almost impossible.
