FAQ
What is a prime number?+

A prime number is a whole number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself. Examples include 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, and 13. The number 2 is the only even prime.

What is prime factorization?+

Prime factorization breaks a composite number down into the prime numbers that multiply together to produce it. For example, 60 = 2² × 3 × 5. Every integer greater than 1 has a unique prime factorization.

Is 1 a prime number?+

No. By modern definition, 1 is neither prime nor composite. Prime numbers must be greater than 1 and have exactly two distinct divisors: 1 and themselves.

How large a number can this tool handle?+

The checker supports numbers up to 10¹⁵ (one quadrillion). It uses trial division optimized with a 6k ± 1 wheel, which is fast enough for instant results in the browser for all numbers in that range.
