If you multiply the number 2 by itself, you get the same answer as when you add the number 2 to itself.

This is why 2 is frequently referred to as 'the magic number'.

Did you know it was only 2002 before we discovered a 100% sure way to test if a number is a prime number?

Isn't that just CRAZ?

Eratosthenes had a sure fire way of find and hence proving primes over 2,200 years ago.
