How is 11 not a prime number?
Excuse me, could you please clarify why 11 is not considered a prime number? I'm a bit confused because, as I understand, a prime number is a natural number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself. Given that 11 has no divisors other than 1 and 11 itself, it seems to meet the criteria for being a prime number. Could you elaborate on why it's not classified as such?

Why is 4 not a prime number?
I'm curious, could you please explain to me why the number 4 is not considered a prime number? I've heard that a prime number is a number greater than 1 that has no divisors other than 1 and itself. So, shouldn't 4 meet this criteria since it's only divisible by 1 and 4? Or am I missing something fundamental about the definition of a prime number?

Why 2 is not a prime number?
I'm curious to understand why the number 2 is not considered a prime number. Isn't a prime number defined as a natural number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself? Since 2 is the only even prime number and it only has two factors, 1 and 2 itself, shouldn't it fulfill the criteria of being a prime number? Can you explain the reasoning behind why 2 is excluded from the definition of prime numbers, or if my understanding of prime numbers is flawed?

Why is 1 not a prime number?
Excuse me, could you clarify for me why the number 1 is not considered a prime number? I understand that prime numbers are defined as those greater than 1 that have no divisors other than 1 and themselves, but it seems to me that 1 only has 1 as a divisor, which would make it fit the criteria. What am I missing here?
