🚫 Common Math Mistake: 1 is a prime number. Not quite! ❌

A prime number has exactly two factors: 1 and itself.
For example:� 2 → Factors: 1, 2� 3 → Factors: 1, 3

But 1 has only one factor—itself.
💡 Remember:�✔️ Prime numbers have exactly 2 factors.�✔️ Composite numbers have more than 2 factors.
✔️ 1 has only 1 factor, so it is neither prime nor composite.
