NUMB3R5

Prime numbers are the multiplicative building blocks of positive integers greater than one. In this game, a randomly generate composite number (in this case, composed of two primes) is displayed. The goal is to identify one of its divisors (the composite number and one are excluded).

Multiplying large prime numbers together is the underpinning of data encryption, so this game is challenging; and it should be. This game provides a fun way to understand, through experience, the one-directional process of multiplying 'large' prime numbers.
