Prime and Composite Numbers

A Prime Number can be divided evenly only by 1, or itself.

And it must be a whole number greater than 1.

Example: 5 can only be divided evenly by 1 or 5, so it is a prime number.

Example: 6 can be divided by 1, 2, 3, and 6 so it is NOT a prime number. It is a composite number.
