Definition: Prime Numbers
A prime number is a natural number greater than 1 that has exactly two factors: 1 and the number itself.
2, 3, 5, 7, 11, and so on are examples of prime numbers.
Definition: Twin Prime Numbers
If the difference between two coprime numbers is 2, the numbers are said to be twin prime numbers. For example: (3, 5)
Definition: Composite numbers
Numbers having more than two factors are called composite numbers. 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, and so on are examples of composite numbers.

Step 1: Guna arranges 12 figs
Guna tries to arrange 12 figs in different rectangular shapes.
-
Arrangement 1: 1 × 12
-
Arrangement 2: 2 × 6
-
Arrangement 3: 3 × 4
He finds 3 different rectangular arrangements.
Step 2: Anshu arranges 7 figs
Anshu tries to arrange 7 figs in rectangles.
-
Arrangement: 1 × 7
She finds only one rectangular arrangement.
Conclusion:
-
If a number can form many rectangular arrangements, it has many factors → it is composite (like 12).
-
If a number can form only one rectangular arrangement, it has only two factors → it is prime (like 7).
- Number of arrangements = Number of factor pairs.

| 1 | 1 | 1 |
| 2 | 1, 2 | 2 |
| 3 | 1, 3 | 2 |
| 4 | 1, 2, 4 | 3 |
| 5 | 1, 5 | 2 |
| 6 | 1, 2, 3, 6 | 4 |
| 7 | 1, 7 | 2 |
| 8 | 1, 2, 4, 8 | 4 |

| 11 | 1, 11 | 2 |
| 12 | 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12 | 6 |
- The number 1 has only one factor (i.e., itself).
- 1 is neither a prime nor a composite number.
- There are numbers having more than two factors like 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, and so on. These numbers are composite numbers.
Key Points Summary
-
A prime number has exactly two factors.
-
1 is neither prime nor composite.
-
Twin primes come in pairs, two apart.
