Prime numbers are those that have no other
factors than 1 and the number itself....
No other whole numbers divide into it.
 
1, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, .... 
A ten second google search of prime numbers 1 to 100
would give you the relevant information quickly.

One more note...
Actually "1" is not considered a prime number because it only
has a single factor... just itself.
The prime numbers start with  2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, ...
