Prime numbers are those number which has only two factors ie. 1 and the number itself. eg. 2 is a prime number as it's factors are 1 and 2, 7 is a prime number as it's factors are 1 and 7.
Odd numbers are those numbers which are only not divisible by 2. eg. 2 is not odd as it is divisible by 2 but 7 is an odd number as it is not divisible by 2 and leaves remainder 1. There it is odd. Moreover it is also a prime number as it's factors are 1 and 7.
