Prime Rules of Euclid

Welcome to the Prime Rules of Euclid, where we establish the fundamental laws of the land of numbers. In this esteemed institution, the rules are simple: if a number is divisible by another number, it's a prime number, and if it's not, it's not.

We've got the Rules of Primes, the Euclidean Divisibility chapter, and the Prime Factorization Fun section.

The Prime Rules

Rule 1: Every prime number is divisible by 1 and itself.

Rule 2: A number is not prime if it has a divisor other than 1 and itself.

Rule 3: A prime number is a number that is only divisible by 1 and itself. (Self-explanatory, really)

Rule 4: If a number is not prime, it's probably because it's divisible by something. Check again, maybe it's just not prime enough.

Rule 5: In the unlikely event of a number being both prime and not prime, consult Rule 3 for clarification. Don't ask us, we're not mathematicians.

The Euclidean Conundrums

Euclid's Conundrum 1: A prime number is like a secret agent. If you find its divisor, you must reveal its true nature.

Euclid's Conundrum 2: A non-prime number is like a bad liar. It'll say it's prime, but you'll find its secrets eventually.

Euclid's Enigma 1: Why do prime numbers get to be so special? Because, well, they just do.
