Number?
Prime
numbers are positive integers which have no divisors other
than 1 and themselves. Therefore, the first 10 prime numbers
are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23 and 29. Except for 2, all
primes are odd numbers. PrimOmatic calculator
will help you check if a number entered is prime, or eventually
find out the factors of that number along with its consecutive
closest prime!
