3rd Time's A Charm

The number 3, in my opinion, is truly the first prime number and hence, why the old saying third time is a charm is true. As most people know a prime number is a number with no factors except for itself times or multiplied by 1. However, 1 multiplied by itself is not considered a prime number because the only factor is 1, which is itself. Therefore, it only has 1 factor instead of the normal two, 1 and itself. Something is there.

The number 2 in western mathematics is considered the first prime number, because it is the first number that has only two factors and at least two factors 1 and itself. The number 1 multiplied by 2 equals 2. These are the only factors of the number 2. Everything has a compliment. What goes up must come down.

However, I do not consider the number 2 to be the first true prime number, because it is the only prime number that can be divided into two whole parts equally. No other even number, which can be divided equally in whole into two different parts, after the number 2 is a prime number. They are all divisible by the number 1, itself and the number 2. Many could say the number 2 would be the exception to the rule, but this is all the more reason why the number 3 is so special.

In my opinion, the number 3 is the first true prime number, because the number 3 only has two factors the number 1 and itself, and the number 3 cannot be divided equally into two parts, and there are still whole quantities between the number 1 and itself. The number 3 is the first special number after 1 and 2. There is positive, negative, and neutral. It is possible to be up or down, or neither. Therefore, it takes at least 3 to define a majority, or quality of an item, a location or direction. The number 3 is the first number to break a tie. Once, twice, third time’s a charm.
