Prime Numbers
2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97. Good Stefano Yes all these listed numbers are prime number because they are only divisible by one and itself.

1) All the circled numbers are prime number because their divisible by one and itself. A very good start Stefano.

2) The blue numbers are the prime numbers and the blank are the composite numbers. 1111111111 0000000001 1234567890 1111111111 1111111112

I like the way you presented this. 3) I could look at my other two charts and see if they're composite or prime. For example if the number was 297 it would sit be a prime number because 97 is only divisible by one and itself. That was probably not the best example Stefano! Unfortunately it doesnt work quite like that! 297 is actually divisible by 3. Use your divisibility rules too.

4) a) This number is a prime number.

b) This number is a prime number. c) This number is a prime number. This is actually a composite number and not a prime number, so I needed to see its prime factorisation here. d) This number is a composite number. 3* 29 =87 Show me the Prime Factorisation in full here please. 5) The largest prime number I could find was = 243,112,609-1.
Good effort Stefano!

This prime number has almost 13 million digits in it. The number was discovered by a group of volunteers in 2008, it was for the computers to hunt for primes. The number is more than twenty-five kilometres long if you stretched it out. Wow! Thats really interesting! Thank you!
