<p>When someone asks you what a prime number is, answer to them that a prime number is a natural number greater than 1 that has exactly two distinct positive divisors: 1 and itself, thus, it cannot be divided by other whole numbers. As the topic of this article, let us expand more material on the topic of prime numbers.</p>

<p>A number is either prime or not a prime only if certain conditions are fulfilled. To find if a number is prime or not there are methods to perform and when those conditions hold good only then the numbers are labeled as prime or<a>composite numbers</a>.</p>

<p>Counting Divisor method is a certain type<a>of method</a>where we first count all the positive divisors of the number. If the number of divisors is 2 then it is a prime number. With 617 we can see that it has only 2 divisors, hence it's an example of prime number. </p>

<p>In the<a>division</a>test, we look at the opportunity to divide the number by any of the prime numbers. And if we cannot then it is considered as a prime here 617 can be divided by only 1 and itself therefore because of this 617 is a good example of prime number.</p>
