Understanding the fundamental concepts
Prime numbers are natural numbers greater than 1 that have no positive divisors other than 1 and themselves. They are the building blocks of all natural numbers.
Primes are fundamental in number theory and have crucial applications in cryptography, computer science, and modern security systems like RSA encryption.
There are infinitely many prime numbers, and they become less frequent as numbers get larger. The largest known prime has over 24 million digits!
