    Another formulation …
    Another formulation, a prime number n, is a number that is divisible by 1 and n, where n does not equal 1.
    We seek out the inverses of our arithmetic operations. Addition suggests subtraction, multiplication suggests division.We discover the new operations do not always have answers that are natural numbers. Our choices are to be selective about the properties of the numbers we operate on, or to define new kinds of numbers.
