Answer:

A prime number is the one that has exactly two factors. This is considered to be the basic definition that we all must have studied in our primary classes.

The question arises that Are these to factors same or different? The answer to this is the two factors are different.

Hence, now “A no. having exactly two factors, that is the no. 1 and the no. itself, is called a prime no.”

Let’s start with the smallest no.

‘0’- The no. 0 can be divided by any no. or it can be written as 0*1, 0*2, 0*3 and so on… Thus, it has more than 2 factors. Hence, it is not a prime no.

‘1’- The no. 1 can be written as 1*1. Thus it has two factors, but they both are not different and hence it is not a prime no.

‘2’- The no. 2 can be written as 1*2. It has two different factors i.e. one and two. Hence, it is the smallest prime no.

Thus, the number 2 is the smallest prime no.
