Números primos

Números primos, or prime numbers, are natural numbers greater than 1 that can only be divided evenly by 1 and themselves. For example, 2, 3, 5, and 7 are primes because no other numbers (besides 1 and the number itself) can divide them without leaving a remainder. Prime numbers are essential in mathematics because they are the building blocks of all natural numbers, similar to how atoms are the building blocks of matter. They play a crucial role in number theory, cryptography, and various algorithms.
