minus-squareKogasa@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·10 days agoHence why 1 is not considered prime
minus-squaretias@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkarrow-up1·10 days agoSo what are the prime factors of 1?
minus-squareKogasa@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·10 days agoIt doesn’t have any. Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic applies to integers greater than 1.
1, 11, 11*1, etc
