What Makes 67 Special?

Sixty-seven has some interesting features that make it stand out among other numbers. Understanding these features helps us learn more about how numbers work.

67 as a Prime Number

A prime number is a whole number greater than 1 that has only two factors: 1 and itself. This means you can only divide 67 by 1 and by 67 to get a whole number answer. You can't divide it evenly by any other number. For example, you can't divide 67 by 2, 3, 5, 7, or any other number between 1 and 67 without getting a remainder.

Prime numbers are like the building blocks of all other numbers. They are very important in mathematics and even in computer science, especially for things like cryptography (keeping information secret and safe).

67 as an Odd Number

An odd number is a whole number that cannot be divided into two equal groups. When you try to divide an odd number by 2, there will always be a remainder of 1. For example, if you have 67 candies and try to share them equally between two friends, each friend would get 33 candies, and you would have 1 candy left over.

Numbers like 1, 3, 5, 7, and so on are odd numbers. Numbers like 2, 4, 6, 8, and so on are even numbers.
