What is the first six-digit prime number? Deviant Audio: By first, I mean that comes numerically starting at one. I have an idea, but I want to be sure.

100007 from what I can tell. An easy way to find it is to make sure it is an odd number, then add all of the numbers up in it as though they were single digits (in this case it would be 1+0+0+0+0+7=8) and if that isn't divisible by 3, then 3, 6, and 9 can't go into it. Then just divide it by seven and if that doesn't work, then you've got it. :)

100007 is NOT prime. It's divisible by 97.

Ya my bad, 100003 is correct. |

A prime number is, by definition, a number that only has two factors: 1 and itself. If you find a number that isn't divisible by 3, 6, 9, and 7, that has nothing to do with whether it is prime or not. Consider 25. As you probably know, 5*5 = 25, so it is definitely a composite number. But, by your logic, it is prime. Do you see the problem here? I hope you aren't giving out answers like this to other questions.
