prime numbers
Only self-divisible integers
Prime numbers are whole numbers greater than one that can only be divided evenly by themselves and one.
The sequence begins 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13 and continues infinitely.
Prime numbers are fundamental in mathematics and cryptography because every whole number can be expressed as a unique product of primes.
The encryption relies on multiplying two very large prime numbers together.
