			<content:encoded><![CDATA[&#8220;Ask Hans&#8221; is a question grab bag. Send in your questions about anything - love, life, religion, politics, raisins, and Internet fraud.
Question:
Dear Hans,
What is a prime number?
Signed,
Carrie Daone
Answer:
Carrie,
To answer your question specifically, a prime number is any number that is only completely divisible by 1 and itself. For example, the number 5 is divisible by only 5 (itself) and 1 (1) without any remainder. Here&#8217;s another example: 715,225,741 is prime too. That one is obvious I know, but only 715,225,741 and 1 are divisors into 715,225,741. Naturally, prime numbers are the basis of almost all encryption that computers use to secure our transactions to eBay and Capital One. Optimus Prime was not a prime number but rather a transformer. 867-5309 is also prime. Who knew that Tommy Tutone was a mathematician? I can also tell by your question that you are having relationship problems.
Thanks for your question,
Hans
