Exploring the World of Prime Numbers

The video tutorial introduces prime numbers, explaining that they have exactly two factors: one and the number itself. It clarifies that one is not a prime number and lists the first eight prime numbers. The video distinguishes between prime and composite numbers, noting that one is neither. It identifies prime numbers between 20 and 30 and demonstrates how to express 60 as a product of prime numbers using factorization.
