Prime Vivian

09/12/2025

So this morning I explained prime numbers to Viv;

Me: all numbers can be divided by one and themselves, right?

Viv: yes

Me: but some numbers can’t be divided by any other number, and nobody knows why.

Viv: that’s not true. You can divide any number by 2.

Me: oh, I forgot to say, the product must be a whole number. No fractions.

Viv: oh, so it’s every odd number?

Me: try 9

Viv: oh yeah … wait, what?

Me: no one knows why.

Viv: I think its because humans made up numbers and they don’t really mean anything.
