Answering the question = giving him a fish. Pointing him towards google = teaching him how to fish.

Shame on YOU for feeding a man once instead of feeding him for life.

So he starves to death later. For now, he's fine.

And I defined prime number. That's like teaching him how to fish in some way.

A number x is prime if and only if all integers y satisfying 2 ≤ y ≤ x − 1 are coprime to x.

You can thank me later.

not really because soon we're going to get annoying topics like this asking for homework help and all that, think the guy was honestly trolling because come on, the time he spent creating a topic he would have had over 1 million results telling him what a prime number was

Yeah...
