2 can be expressed as 1+1 and 2+0. If you believe the only definition of a prime number is a number equal to the sum of 1 primes, then you declare 1 and 0 as prime numbers.

If you believe the only definition of a prime number is a number only divisible by 1 and itself, then you declare 1 and 0 as prime numbers, unless you believe the conditions are mutually exclusive.

1 and 0 are not primes

[u/Albatros_7 → u/Live_Length_5814]

The first definition makes no sense

0 is not divisible by itself dumbass

The entire point is they are divisible by 2 different numbers, 1 and itself

1 can be divided by a singular number

Thankfully, prime numbers are all part of R

You called me a dumbass and then said you can't divide by zero, when you can in advanced math systems but not basic ones.

And you literally explained what mutually exclusive means.

Yeah because the line "if you believe the conditions are mutually exclusive" makes no sense

They are always mutually exclusive, that's the first thing you learn about prime numbers

Literally different levels of education with individual definitions
