The theorem named for them states that the number of these less than a given number n is approximately equal to n divided by the natural logarithm of n. Specific types of them are named after Sophie Germain and Marin Mersenne, and the fundamental theorem of arithmetic states that any positive integer greater than one can be uniquely expressed as a product of these.

They can be found using the sieve of Eratosthenes, and the first four examples of them are two, three, five, and seven. For 10 points, name this type of number, whose only divisors are one and itself.
