Exploring Prime and Composite Numbers

The video tutorial introduces natural numbers, explaining that they can be divided into prime and composite numbers. Prime numbers have only two factors: one and the number itself, while composite numbers have more than two factors. Examples of each type are provided. Key points include that one is neither prime nor composite, two is the smallest and only even prime number, and three is the smallest odd prime number. The video concludes with a task to list prime and composite numbers from one to one hundred.
