In this video, I cover the difference between a Prime and a Composite number. A prime number is a natural number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself. In other words, it can only be divided by 1 and itself without leaving a remainder. Examples of prime numbers are: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, and 13. A composite number is a natural number greater than 1 that has more than two positive divisors.
