Answer: 2 is a prime number

Step-by-step explanation: This is because the only numbers it can be multiplied by is 1 and 2. If a number can only be multiplied by 1 and itself, It will always be prime. 2 is the only even prime number.

Yes, 2 is a prime number. The number 2 is divisible only by 1 and the number itself. For a number to be classified as a prime number, it should have exactly two factors. Since 2 has exactly two factors, i.e. 1 and 2, it is a prime number.
