    I know this is a necro troll thread, but two things stick out to me:

    One, they keep referring to Indivisible only. It's like they don't realize that the bar is only the warning sign to pay attention to what the robot says next.

    Two, I learned primes are numbers that are only divisible by 1 and itself. Just because "itself" is also 1 doesn't change matters. It's divisible by 1 and 1, hence, prime.

    Your teacher may not have understood it properly or maybe it was just a simplified version of the subject, but regardless of what you learned in school, 1 is not considered a prime number.

    For the first item it's been too long since I ran that raid and paid attention to the text so I don't recall exactly what's said.

    The ability is called indivisible, just like how the ability when he reduces your HP is subtract and when he wants you to be a multiple of a number (or a factor) is multiply.

    The actual text tells you "calculate values to primes"

    1 is not prime because it would literally break all math involving prime numbers (which includes cryptography) if it were considered prime. Simplest example: Prime Factorization. Every integer n > 1 has a single unique prime factorization. If 1 is prime, then that falls apart because instead of 4 having a single prime factorization 2 * 2, it now has infinite prime factorizations 2 * 2 * 1^n for all n members of the counting numbers.
