Explanation
จำนวน means “number” or “quantity,” and เฉพาะ means “specific” or “limited,” but จำนวนเฉพาะ is used as a fixed mathematical term meaning “prime number.” Common patterns include เป็นจำนวนเฉพาะ “to be a prime number” and ไม่ใช่จำนวนเฉพาะ “not to be a prime number.”
Usage
It is used in arithmetic and math classes, exam questions, explanations of number properties, and programming contexts involving prime-number checks. It is not common in everyday conversation.
Caution
1 is not a จำนวนเฉพาะ. Also, do not use this term just to mean “a specific number”; in math contexts it will be understood as “prime number.”
