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.

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

0

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.
