This document provides various facts and information about numbers and their divisibility. It defines prime and composite numbers. A prime number is only divisible by 1 and itself, while a composite number is divisible by more than two numbers. Examples of factoring both composite and prime numbers are shown using graphs. The document also includes miscellaneous facts about distances, wars, Olympic medals, food quantities, whales and travel times.
