17 is absolutely, positively, undeniably a prime number. If someone tells you it’s composite, they are either trolling you or they need to apologize to their third-grade math teacher.
Remember this the next time you’re at the grocery store. You buy 17 eggs? That’s a prime carton. You can only split it evenly with one other person. Or yourself. You do you. You buy 18 eggs? That’s composite. You can share with everyone. Boooring.
Next time you see the number 17 on a license plate or a house address, give it a little nod. You know its secret now. It’s a lone wolf. A factor of one and itself. A mathematical masterpiece.
And honestly? That’s pretty cool. Now, go forth and impress your friends with this useless but delightful knowledge. You’re welcome.
