Answer 2

Answer: false

Step-by-step explanation:

The confusion begins with this definition a person might give of “prime”: a prime number is a positive whole number that is only divisible by 1 and itself. The number 1 is divisible by 1, and it's divisible by itself. But itself and 1 are not two distinct factors. ... If 1 were prime, we would lose that uniqueness.
