there are plenty of theorems out there that are true for every prime except 2. it's kind of cheating at being a prime number because there's literally no numbers under it except 1
2 is like the savior of prime numbers; it has taken on the burden of being evil even, so that all following primes are free to be odd. It really is a moving story.
Sure. Mathematicians have gone back and forth over the years about whether 1 should be considered a prime number, for instance, and deciding that 1 shouldn't be prime DID make other definitions more complicated and inconvenient.
The biggest reason it's not prime today is that every number is divisible by one, and we have a separate category for those now (units.) Most definitions just kick it out implicitly, math people wouldn't like saying 'p is only divisible by 1 and p, and some number exists that is not divisible by p'
When you pick a prime number, a lot of the time it'll be really important for your argument at some point that some numbers aren't divisible by that prime. Fortunately, that's true for all the candidates besides 1, so you can just kick out that one in your definition and never worry about it again.
2 is a pretty number shes a lil unconventional sometimes but if i need to divide something you bet im hoping its by 2. 7 is the real evil number. it only goes well with 3. plus when written it lacks the flow of the humble 6 and majestic 8. i think abt this a lot

Hmmm I have opinions on numbers just based on how they make me feel but it’s largely hating odd numbers except 5 but especially 3 and even numbers are great except 6.
its good but 101 is better to me
1 is like “oh okay”
11 is “you got me interested but where r u taking this”
111 is just like “oh. okay hey i get u like 1 but maybe switch it up sometimes? its rly cool that ur so into that but maybe try a 0 and see how u like it? its okay if u dont like it just try”
But two is the reason that other even numbers aren't prime, because it is their factor. Without two, any even number that wasn't factorable by four could potentially be prime.
You must look past your ignorance to see the truth. You have to look past prime numbers being meer oddities. You must realize their true function. They are factors that multiply up to all other numbers.
Only then can you see the Truth.
2 is a prime number
It is the ultimate prime
The perfect number
