**Educational Content**

**Understanding Prime Numbers and Relations**

Prime numbers are integers greater than 1 with no positive integer divisors other than 1 and themselves. Specifically, 1 is not considered a prime number.

**Defining the Relation \( P \) on Integers (\( \mathbb{Z} \))**

The relation \( P \) is defined as follows:

- For every \( m, n \in \mathbb{Z} \), \( m \, P \, n \) if and only if there exists a prime number \( p \) such that \( p \) divides both \( m \) and \( n \).

**Analysis of the Relation \( P \)**

Determine which properties the relation \( P \) satisfies:

- [ ] \( P \) is reflexive.
- [ ] \( P \) is symmetric.
- [ ] \( P \) is transitive.
- [ ] \( P \) is neither reflexive, symmetric, nor transitive.

**Note:**

The question requires selecting all the applicable properties of \( P \).
