A set of first six positive prime numbers
I assume you know what primes are. They have no other factors than 1 and themselves.
For example, 2 = 1*2 so it is prime
3 = 1*3 so it is prime
4 = 1*4 or 2*2 so it is not prime
The set of the first two primes is {2,3}
Now you have the set of the first two primes, so go on until you have six of them.
You just have to list the first six positive prime numbers?
To find a set of the first six positive prime numbers, you need to understand what prime numbers are. Prime numbers are numbers that are greater than 1 and have no factors other than 1 and themselves.
To find the first six positive prime numbers, you can start with the first prime number, which is 2, and continue testing each subsequent number if it is prime.
So let's go through the process step by step:
1. Start with the first prime number, which is 2.
2. Test the next number, 3, if it is divisible by any number other than 1 and itself. Since it is not, mark it as a prime number.
3. Test the next number, 4, which is divisible by 2. Since it is not greater than 1 itself, we skip it.
4. Test the next number, 5. It is not divisible by any number other than 1 and itself, so mark it as a prime number.
5. Test the next number, 6, which is divisible by 2 and 3. Since it has factors other than 1 and itself, we skip it.
6. Test the next number, 7. It is not divisible by any number other than 1 and itself, so mark it as a prime number.
7. Continue this process until you have found the desired amount of prime numbers.
Following this procedure, we can find the first six positive prime numbers: {2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13}.
