Are all numbers in binary prime numbers?
Please answer as if to a child. A not very bright child.

Aw, c'mon. There are loads of cycling unrelated things in chat cafe. Besides prime numbers are often used in the configuration of gearing mechanisms for reasons that I heard but did not understand.Dear cyclopathic, this website is cycle chat, not maths geeks r us
(even a simple child would understand this)
Ah, I get it...you don't know. No shame in that. I might try the geeks though. didn't know that they were part of the franchise.Try here with your maths questions.
I like these Zoggians. They make a lot of sense.No, not all numbers in binary are prime.
A number is prime (or not prime) regardless of the base in which you express it.
Take four for example. That's two times two, so it isn't prime.
In binary I could say "take 100 for example. That's 10 x 10 so it isn't prime".
On planet zog, where they have 9 fingers and use base 9, the number that we call "11" they call "12" but it's still prime.
If there were 11 rocks there on planet zog we could agree with the zoggians that the number of rocks was a prime number, even though we express it differenly. And we call them "rocks" they call them "lovelies"

They use base fitness.What happens on Planet-X?
Now it's cycle related!
