hello!

==============================================

Remember, prime numbers have only 2 factors: 1 & themselves.

For example, 5 is a prime number because it's only divisible by 1 and 5 (itself)

Now, write down some primes.

1) between 45 and 55

- 47

- it's only divisible by 1 and itself, so it IS prime

2) 62 and 72

67, because it is divisible by 1 and itself only.

====================================================

note:-

Hope everything is clear; if you need any clarification/explanation, kindly let me know, and I'll comment and/or edit my answer :)
