What is a prime number
Prime number is a natural number which is greater than 1.
A number which is divisible by 1 and itself only is called as prime number.
For example, 5 is Prime number because 1 and 5 are its only integer factors.
Whereas 6 is not Prime number because it has the divisors 2 and 3.
A number which is not Prime number is called as composite number.
