Prime numbers are integers greater than one which only can divided with itself or 1 without remainder.

Mathematical Consideration All even numbers are divideable by 2 and therefore do not qualify to be a prime-number. The odd number you factorize, e.g. asking if 87 is a prime-numberwe start to divide it with the smallest prime-number, 87 / 2 = 43 + 1, 87 / 3 = 29;this means since it's divideable by 3 without remainder then it's not a prime. let's try with 89, it can be tested alike, with 2, 3, 7, 11, 13, etc and can't be divideable by other prime-numbers and you realize it is prime itself. Needless to say to find large prime-numbers can be immense overhead, and this became for the last years a competition for supercomputers: Prime Digits Who When 26972593-1 2,098,960 Hajratwala, Woltman, Kurowski, GIMPS 1999 23021377-1 909,526 Clarkson, Woltman, Kurowski, GIMPS 1998 22976221-1 895,932 Spence, Woltman, GIMPS 1997 21398269-1 420,921 Armengaud, Woltman, GIMPS 1996 21257787-1 378,632 Slowinski, Gage 1996 4859465536+1 307,140 Scott, Gallot 2000 2859433-1 258,716 Slowinski, Gage 1994 2756839-1 227,832 Slowinski, Gage 1992 667071*2667071-1 200,815 Toplic, Gallot 2000 99923632768+1 196,598 Scott, Gallot 2000 For updates check The Largest Known Primes   Spiritual Consideration I cannot write about this yet, but I feel Prime-Numbers are living beings, not as we imagine them as deceased beings for a form and ideas of being human, but they, as all numbers, are conscious beings; and there is a way to address Prime-Numbers in an affirmation and discover their hidden nature which has not been yet discover or cover by the solely mathematical approach. As soon I find reference material or by my own experience I will include this here on this page.
