- A prime number (or a prime) is a natural number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself.
- A prime number is a number which has precisely two positive factors: itself and one. Prime numbers are generally restricted to the domain of natural numbers.

- A prime number (or a prime) is a natural number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself.
- A prime number is a number which has precisely two positive factors: itself and one. Prime numbers are generally restricted to the domain of natural numbers. Note that the set of prime numbers excludes one, as one only has one positive factor. In any other algebraic structure with a multiplication operation, and a concept of primes, particularly rings with unity, the multiplicative identity is excluded as prime. One key theorem relating to prime numbers is that there are infinitely many primes. This can be proven by contradiction: If we assume that there are only a finite number of primes, then we can list them, . If we multiply all primes together and add one, we get . Because 1 is only divisible by itself, this new number P is not divisible by any of the primes and is therefore itself a prime number. Therefore, the assumption is false and there must be an infinite number of primes.

The first twenty-five prime numbers are: 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.

(TNG: "Allegiance" ) Astronomers on Kelemane's planet also signaled prime numbers to the "Sky Ship" in an effort to communicate. (VOY: "Blink of an Eye")
