While the word "prime" does mean "first rate, of the highest rank," team PR1ME has sought more emphasis in the mathematical surrounding prime numbers.
Unity
A prime numbers is any number that is divisible only by itelf and one other number, in this case, 1. Another way of putting it "(of any two or more numbers) having no common divisor except unity: [for example ]The number 2 is prime to 9." (Dictionary.com) Because the number is only divisible by itself, it is NOT a prime number. Extracted to a team concept, all members of PR1ME are united under the common single unit, the team.
Infinite
There will always be a larger, undiscovered prime number than the largest one known today. To a team, this means we are always improving.
Adaptable
Every integer can be expressed is either prime or can be expressed as a product of primes. To the team, this means that no matter which opponent we face, we can always adapt and evolve to win.
This prime number concept is also in dedication to Mrs. McGowan, a high school and college math teacher and the patron of team PR1ME along with Mr. McGowan.
The actual usage of numbers for letters is actually called "Leet" or "Leetspeak" for those of you n00bs that didn't know.... More here:

Wow, my head hurts from all this learning.
Next time, we'll cover building a field and the difficulties that arise so that the next person may not have to encounter the same issues.
