Answer:
For 21 to be a prime number, it would have been required that 21 has only two divisors, i.e., itself and 1. However, 21 is a semiprime (also called biprime or 2-almost-prime), because it is the product of a two non-necessarily distinct prime numbers. Indeed, 21 = 3 x 7, where 3 and 7 are both prime numbers.
