Imagine you have a big bag of jellybeans, and some are special, they can’t be divided evenly by any other number except themselves and one. These are prime numbers. Now, if you sort them in neat rows on the floor, you might see strange shapes forming like invisible squares or triangles, even though the jellybeans seem random at first.
Examples
- A big number like 101 might look random, but it fits neatly into patterns when sorted with other primes.
