Oh yeah? What about 0? And 1?

They’re not prime. By definition primes have two prime factors. 1 and the number itself. 1 is divisible only by 1. 0 has no prime factors.

Commonly primes are defined as natural numbers greater than 1 that have only trivial divisors. Your definition kinda works, but 1 can be infinitely many prime factors since every number has 1^n with n ∈ ℕ as a prime factor. And your definition is kinda misleading when generalising primes.

Isn’t 1^n just 1? As in not a new number. I’d argue that 1*1==1*1*1. They’re not some subtly different ones. I agree that the concept of primes only becomes useful for natural numbers >1.
How is my definition misleading?

0 has all the factors. Itself and any other number.

Put them in a sieve of Eratosthenes and see what happens.

🚨 NERD ALERT🚨

Go define a vector space, nerd.

Go compute the p value of you being cool

Go integrate f(x)= 1/x on the domain (-1,1)

This is meme-ville population: me

Take a hike.

I’m picking on you because you’re looking for patterns where there are none. It’s a common meme format, and it just so happens that op wrote it like that.

  • let V be you mom’s vagina, a vector space over the field of pubes. We define my d as a vector such that d is in V. Thus my dick is in your mom’s vagina.

  • In this vector space p values are not defined, but I can assure you that my pp is > 9000.

  • The integral of f(x)=1/x from -1 to 1 does not converge, just like how your father is never coming back from buying milk. The principal value of that integral tho is 0, just like the amount of hugs you got as a kid.

  • math is cool, you just too stupid to get it.

Pretty sure that when we plug in a correction factor for the relative age of the Fediverse userbase, “today’s lucky 10,000” becomes more like “today’s lucky 10 million”

Is it Just because it’s the only even one?

Often things hold true for all primes except 2. You come across things like “for all non two primes”

Any examples? Sounds like you mean the reason why one is excluded from the primes because of the fundamental theorem of arithmetic.

No, he’s right. “For any odd prime” is a not-unheard-of expression. It is usually to rule out 2 as a trivial case which may need to be handled separately.

And how is “even” special? Two is the only prime that’s divisible by two but three is also the only prime divisible by three.

Well 2 is the outlier because it’s the only even prime. It might not be “special” but it is unique out of all of the prime numbers.

“even” just means divisible by two. So it’s not unique at all. Two is the only prime that’s even divisible by two and three is the only prime that’s divisible by three. You just think two is a special prime because there is a word for “divisible by two” but the prime two isn’t any more special or unique in any meaningful way than any other prime.
