Here you will learn what are prime numbers in math, its properties and method to check whether a number is prime or not.<\/p>\n

Let’s begin –<\/p>\n

What are Prime Numbers in Math ?<\/h2>\n

A natural number larger than unity is a prime number if it does not have other divisors except for itself and unity.<\/p>\n

For example<\/strong><\/span> : 2, 3, 5, 7, 11 etc are all prime numbers.<\/p>\n

Note<\/strong> : Unity (i.e. 1) is not a prime number.<\/p>\n

Properties of Prime Number<\/h3>\n

1). The lowest prime number is 2.<\/p>\n

2). 2 is the only even prime number.<\/p>\n

3). The lowest odd prime number is 3.<\/p>\n

4). The remainder when a prime number p \\(\\ge\\) 5 is divided by 6 is 1 or 5. However, if a number on being divided by 6 gives remainder of 1 or 5 the number need not be prime.<\/p>\n

5). The remainder of the division of the square of a prime number p \\(\\ge\\) 5 divided by 24 is 1.<\/p>\n

6). For prime numbers p > 3, \\(p^2\\) – 1 is divisible by 24.<\/p>\n

7). If a and b are two odd primes then \\(a^2 – b^2\\) is composite. Also, \\(a^2 + b^2\\) is composite.<\/p>\n

8). The remainder of the division of the square of a prime number p \\(\\ge\\) 5 divided by 12 is 1.<\/p>\n

Prime numbers between 1 to 100<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The prime numbers between 1 to 1oo are : 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97.<\/p>\n

Shortcut Method to Check Number is Prime or Not<\/h3>\n

To check whether a number N is prime, adopt the following process.<\/p>\n

\n

1). Take the square root of the number.<\/p>\n

2). Round of the square root to the immediately lower integer. Call this number z. For example if you have to check for 181, its square root will be 13… . Hence, the value of z, in this case will be 13.<\/p>\n

3). Check for the divisibility of the number N by all prime numbers below z. If there is no prime number below the value z which divides N then the number N will be prime.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Example<\/strong><\/span> : The value of \\(\\sqrt{239}\\) lies between 15 to 16. Hence take the value of z as 15.<\/p>\n

Prime numbers less than 16 are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11 and 13, 239 is not divisible by any of these. Hence you can conclude that 239 is a prime number.<\/p>\n\n\n
