For example, the prime divisors of 10 are 2 and 5; and the first six primes are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11 and 13.
The problem of distinguishing prime numbers from composite numbers and of resolving the latter into their prime factors is known to be one of the most important and useful in arithmetic.
Because the way the largest numbers N are proven prime is based on the factorizations of either N+1 or N-1, and for Mersennes the factorization of N+1 is as trivial as possible (a power of two).

The study of prime numbers is one of the few areas still left in mathematics in which the concepts, questions and experiments are still simple enough to intrigue both amateur and professional mathematicians.
The number 333333331 is a composite with factors 17 and 19607843.
Statistical evidence suggests that there are infinitely many twin primes, and mathematicians have estimated that in the range close to the number n, the average distance between one pair of twin primes and the next is close to the square of the natural logarithm of n.

 PlanetMath: good hash table primes
In the course of designing a good hashing configuration, it is helpful to have a list of prime numbers for the hash table size.
The columns are, in order, the lower bounding power of two, the upper bounding power of two, the relative deviation (in percent) of the prime number from the optimal middle of the first two, and finally the prime itself.
This is version 6 of good hash table primes, born on 2002-08-21, modified 2004-02-24.

Primes appear to be the building blocks of multiplication—you can express all positive integers as a unique set of primes factors—but there is not a simple equation to generate a list of primes, nor is there a simple way to determine if any given number is prime.
Not only are primes good for play, it turns out that prime numbers are extremely important in the area of cryptography.

A prime number has only two factors, one and itself, so it cannot be divided evenly by any other numbers.
To find the prime factors of a number, you divide the number by the smallest possible prime number and work up the list of prime numbers until the result is itself a prime number.
Here are the prime factors of the composite numbers between 1 and 20.

Hence the numbers that have not been crossed out are exactly the prime numbers greater than 10 and less than or equal to 100.
Write this number into List B. Strike off this number and all multiples of this number from List A. The crossing-off of multiples can be started at the square of the number, as lower multiples have already been crossed out in previous steps.

In one striking example (see http://www.lactamme.polytechnique.fr/Mosaic/images/PRIM.51.0100.D/display.html), by Jean-François Colonna, integers are shown as spheres on a square grid, where the radius and color of the sphere is related to the square root of the number of divisors (primes are white and have the smallest radius).

The number 18 is composite; it is composed of 2×3×3.
One way to generate prime numbers is to test each number to see if it can be factored by all of the odd numbers up to the square root of the number being tested.
It is not necessary to test above the square root of the number since all other combinations of factors would include one number larger than the square root, and one smaller.

 Counting Primes   (Site not responding. Last check: )
To prove that there are infinitely many primes, we would either have to write down a general formula that could be used to produce infinitely many different primes, or else we would have to proceed by a more indirect method.
If there are infinitely many, then any finite list must be inadequate---in the very precise sense that some prime exists that is not on the list.
That is, we should start with a list of primes, which purports to be complete, and somehow use the list to produce another prime.

 Halfbakery: Prime Candidates
When wanting to generate a list of prime numbers (which are only perfectly divisible by themselves and One), you start by creating a "candidate", which you then apply various tests to determine whether or not it is prime.
Note that the Prime number 2 is NOT produced by the algorithm -- but this is because 2 is incorporated into M. The special multiplier M will always be the product of all the Prime numbers that we are working with, in a particular Scenario.
People who play will prime numbers will undoubtedly notice the similiarity to a very well-known fact, that every prime greater than 3 has the form 6X+1 or 6X-1 (where X is 1 or more).
