7.3 Prime Numbers<br />

A prime number is a whole number greater than 1 that has only two<br />

factors, 1 and itself.<br />

For example, 5 is a primary number as it only has two factors, 1 and 5.<br />

The first fifteen prime numbers are:<br />

2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47<br />

Note:<br />

1 is not considered a prime number as it has only one factor, i.e. 1.<br />

2 is the first prime number, and it is the only even prime number: all<br />

other prime number are odd. There is an infinite number of prime<br />

numbers.<br />

7.4 Highest Common Factor<br />

The highest common factor of two or more numbers is the largest factor that is<br />

common to each of the given numbers.<br />

This means the highest common factor of two or more numbers is the largest<br />

number that will divide exactly into each number.<br />

Example 1:<br />

The highest common factor of 6 and 8 is 2, as 2 is the highest number that will<br />

divide exactly into 6 and 8.<br />
