Prime numbers

The document provides an overview of some key concepts related to even, odd, composite, and prime numbers. It explains that even numbers can be divided by 2, odd numbers cannot, and composite numbers can be divided by another number other than 1 or itself. Prime numbers can only be divided by 1 and itself. The document then walks through systematically removing composite numbers from 1 to 100 to show the prime numbers remaining.

Some Simple Tips and Reminders
Even Numbers – Any number that can be divided by 2 Odd Numbers – Any number that cannot be divided by 2 Composite Number – An integer that can be divided by at least one other number (a factor) other than itself
Prime Number – An integer whose only factors are 1 and itself. Factor – a number that can divide another number without a remainder. Prime Factors – an expression of numbers that divides another integer without a remainder where all the factors are prime.
Let’s look at a number grid from 1 to 100 and see how they were discovered.
Take out the number 1 because it is a special number 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100
