Mathematical definition Memes

Oh the beautiful mathematical irony! Someone boldly declares "1 isn't a prime number" only to get absolutely SCHOOLED by the reply that perfectly defines what makes a prime number... and inadvertently proves that 1 fits the very definition they just gave! 🤦‍♂️ It's like watching someone dig their own mathematical grave with enthusiastic precision. The definition states a prime number "can only be divided by 1 and itself" - and for the number 1, those are the SAME NUMBER! *maniacal mathematician laughter* This is why we mathematicians need to be precise with our definitions - otherwise we end up accidentally proving ourselves wrong while trying to be smart!

GASP! The mathematical HORROR! Claiming 1 is prime is like showing up to a chemistry lab wearing socks and sandals—absolutely forbidden! The number 1 was actually considered prime until the late 19th century, when mathematicians collectively decided "nope, too chaotic" and kicked it out of the prime number club. By definition, prime numbers need EXACTLY two distinct divisors: 1 and themselves. Poor little 1 only has itself as a divisor, making it the mathematical equivalent of trying to high-five yourself in public. Your professor's disgust is completely warranted—they've probably had nightmares about this very scenario!
