List the first eight prime numbers.
2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23,29....
prime #s are # that are only able to be divided by one or itself so for example 3 is a prime # but on the other hand 12 isnt because its able to be didided by 1,2,3,4,6 and 12 and if it was a prime #only 12 and 1 would be able to be divided by it do u get it now?
To list the first eight prime numbers, we need to understand what prime numbers are. Prime numbers are positive integers greater than 1 that are divisible only by 1 and themselves.
To find the first eight prime numbers, we can start by listing the first few positive integers and systematically checking if each number is prime.
1. Start with the first prime number, which is 2.
2. Move to the next number, 3. Since it is not divisible by any of the prime numbers we have found so far (which is only 2), we can determine that 3 is also a prime number.
3. The next number is 4. However, it is divisible by 2, so it is not a prime number.
4. Move to 5. It is not divisible by any of the prime numbers we have found so far (2 and 3), so we can consider 5 as the next prime number.
5. The next number is 6, which is divisible by both 2 and 3, so it is not a prime number.
6. Move to 7. Again, it is not divisible by any of the prime numbers we have found so far (2, 3, and 5), so we can consider 7 as the next prime number.
7. The next number is 8, which is divisible by 2, so it is not a prime number.
8. Finally, we move to 9, which is divisible by 3, so it is not a prime number.
By following this process, we can determine that the first eight prime numbers are: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, and 19.
