A prime number is a positive whole number that is divisible only by itself and 1.


The UK's Dedicated Card and Payment Crime Unit is a special police unit comprising police officers drawn from the City of London and Metropolitan Police forces.
Some encryption systems make use of very large prime numbers, for example RSA encryption.


The unit is fully sponsored by the banking industry, and supported by bank investigators and case support staff who have an ongoing brief to help stamp out organised card and cheque fraud across the UK.


Examples of small prime numbers include 2, 3, 5, 7 and 11.


The unit responds to investigations on a nationwide basis including those involving:
