1 was considered a Prime number for many years. But there is a problem: any number can be written as the product of its prime factors. E.g. 30 = 2*3*5 (2,3 and 5 being primes). If 1 is a prime, then the prime factorization of 30 could be 2*3*5*1 or even 2*3*5*1*1*1*1.
So mathematicians had to say "primes, but not 1!" all the time.
Therefore 1 is no longer (mostly for practical reasons) considered prime.
