Definitions-
Prime Numbers-
The numbers having only two factors are called Prime Numbers. Those factors are 1 and itself. Examples-2,3,5,7,9,11,13,19 etc.

Composite Numbers-
Numbers having more then two factors are called Composite Numbers. Example- 4,6,8,10,12,14,16,57 etc.

Twin Prime Numbers-
If the difference between the pair of Prime numbers is 2, then they are called Twin Prime Numbers. Example- 3 and 5 because 3-5=2

Co- prime numbers (or) Relatively Prime numbers-
If 1 is the only common factor for 2 numbers then that two numbers are said to be relatively prime or co-prime numbers. Example-12 and 13. The factors of 12 are- 1,2,3,4,6,12. The factors of 13 are- 1,13. 1 is the only common factor for 12 and 13. Hence 12 and 13 are relatively prime.


Multiples and Factors-
The numbers 2,4,6,8,10… are formed by multiplying natural numbers with 2.These numbers are Multiples of 2.We know that 3x3=6.Two is said to be factor of 6. 6 is said to be a multiple of 2.
