Prime Numbers, Factors, and Multiples Explained

The video tutorial introduces prime numbers, explaining that they have only two factors: 1 and the number itself. It highlights that 1 is not a prime number and 2 is the only even prime number. The tutorial then moves on to factors, which are numbers that divide exactly into another number, often occurring in pairs. Examples are provided using the number 24.
