Prime Numbers

Prime numbers are a fundamental concept in number theory. They are natural numbers greater than 1 that have no positive divisors other than 1 and themselves. Here are some key points about prime numbers:

List of Prime Numbers: The first few prime numbers are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, and so on.
Properties of Prime Numbers: Prime numbers are not divisible by any number other than 1 and themselves.
Prime Number Theorem: This theorem states that the number of primes less than a given number n is approximately n/ln(n).

Here's an interesting fact: Every even number greater than 2 is not a prime number. This is because they are divisible by 2.
