Prime numbers: Any number that can only factor into 1 and itself. In other words, If you divide it by any number except 1 or itself, you will get a remainder. Square number: A number that is a perfect square. In other words, any number you multiple by itself, the product will be a square. It's called a square number, because on any true square, both sides are always equal, and the area is the square number. |
