The first 6 prime numbers are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, and 13.

The number 1 is not considered a prime number because a prime number is defined as a natural number greater than 1 that has exactly two distinct positive divisors: 1 and itself. The number 1 only has one positive divisor (1), failing to meet the "exactly two distinct divisors" criterion.
