+A prime number is a positive whole number that is divisible only by itself and 1.
-For example the historic dividend yield is normally based on the most recent past dividend.
+Some encryption systems make use of very large prime numbers, for example RSA encryption.
-(As opposed to the prospective dividend yield which is normally based on the next forecast future dividend.)
+Examples of small prime numbers include 2, 3, 5, 7 and 11.
-Another example is the historic Price to earnings ratio (PER) which is normally based on the earnings for the most recent past period.
-(As opposed to the prospective PER which is normally based on the projected earnings for the nearest future forecast period.)
