Why is 47 a prime number?
Excuse me, but could you elaborate on why 47 is considered a prime number? I'm a bit confused as I've always thought that prime numbers are those that have only two distinct positive divisors, namely 1 and themselves. So, I'm wondering if there's a specific reason why 47 falls into this category and how it differs from other numbers that aren't prime. Could you please provide a clear and concise explanation? Thank you in advance.
