The Prime Number Song/Factor Tree - Orchard Elementary Group Page Sing Show! LIVE!

This song still ends up stuck in my head from time to time.

During the lockdown for COVID-19, Orchard began to do their weekly morning/afternoon sing performances as live streams. It was a grand old time, both in person and online. With the upcoming retirement of Ms. Baker, I was revisiting these old childhood songs.

Lyrics (to the best of my ability):

Two three five seven eleven thirteen
The first six numbers in the prime number family
Seventeen nineteen twenty-three twenty-nine
Thirty-one and on and so on

Two three five seven eleven thirteen
The first six numbers in the prime number family
Seventeen nineteen twenty-three twenty-nine
Thirty-one and on and so on

Y'now
One, it's the loneliest number
Hangin' with only one factor
All his applications to be prime
Were sent back, denied every single time

But
Two three five seven eleven thirteen
Got caught in the sieve of the Greek Eratosthenes
Two-hundred seventy-six B. C.
He was born in North Africa, in Cyrene

And if it's not prime, it's a composite number
With three or four or more different factors
Four six eight nine ten twelve and fourteen
Are just a few examples of this giant number team

But
Two three five seven eleven thirteen
The first six numbers in the prime number family
Add them together, you get forty-one
Is that prime?
YES

My song is done
Well, almost done
There's some other ones

Y'know,
If you take all of those composite numbers
You can break them down into their prime factorization
By using a

Factor tree
Factor tree
Break a number down 'till the prime numbers are found
Oh, factor tree

Factor tree
Factor tree
Break a number down 'till the prime numbers are found
Oh, factor tree

Factor tree
Factor tree
Break a number down 'till the prime numbers are found
Oh, factor tree

Factor tree
Factor tree
Break a number down 'till the prime numbers are found
Oh, factor tree
