A prime number is a number ''p'' that is a divisor of some numbers but not others, such that for any possible ''a'' × ''b'' that is divisible by ''p'', either ''a'' or ''b'' is also divisible by ''p''. For example, −47 is a prime number since, for example, 37 × 94 is divisible by −47, and we see that 94 is also divisible by −47. Compare to the fact that 48 is not a prime number, as we can readily find, for example, that 3 × 32 is divisible by 48, but neither 3 nor 32 is divisible by 48.

A prime number is a number ''p'' that is a divisor of some numbers but not others, such that for any possible ''a'' × ''b'' that is divisible by ''p'', either ''a'' or ''b'' is also divisible by ''p''. For example, −47 is a prime number since, for example, 37 × 94 is divisible by −47, and we see that 94 is also divisible by −47. Compare to the fact that 48 is not a prime number, as we can readily find, for example, that 3 × 32 is divisible by 48, but neither 3 nor 32 is divisible by 48.
In elementary number theory, as appears in movies and TV shows, a much weaker definition of prime number can be used, such as one limiting consideration to positive integers, in that a prime number is a positive integer that is divisible only by 1 and itself. In the example, 47 is divisible by 1 and 47 but not any other integer in between, while 48 is divisible by 1 and 48 as well as 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, ..., 24.
Prime numbers are an important part of FirstContactMath. The number 1 is not considered prime any more by human mathematicians, as it lacks certain important qualities of prime numbers (for one thing, and perhaps most importantly, 1 is a divisor of every other integer). But if the aliens include it in their listing of prime numbers, it still demonstrates their intelligence, as the sequence is unlikely to be the result of random blips.
