Ever wondered why some numbers are special?

Imagine you're organizing a party and need to split guests evenly into groups.

Some numbers can only be divided by themselves and 1 without leaving any leftovers. These special numbers are called prime numbers.

Example

If you have 6 guests, you can split them into groups of 2 or 3, but not 4 or 5 without leftovers.

Remember this

Prime numbers are the building blocks of all other numbers.
