Small distinction. They are the only two consecutive numbers that are prime. 5 and 7, 7 and 11, 11 and 13 and so on are consecutive primes.
2 and 3 are the only consecutive numbers that are prime.
There are only two prime numbers that are consecutive numbers, 2 and 3. Their product is 2 x 3 = 6. The first prime numbers are 2, 3, 5, and 7 and the only two consecutive prime numbers whose product is a single digit are 2 and 3. (The next two consecutive prime numbers, 3 and 5, have a two-digit product.)
Yes.Additional Information:If you have two consecutive numbers, one of them will be an odd number and the other will be an even number. Since even numbers are divisible by 2, the only even prime number is 2. If two consecutive numbers are prime, the even number must be 2. So, because 1 is not a prime number, the only time that two consecutive numbers can be prime is in the case of 2 and 3.
There is only one pair of consecutive prime numbers, and the prime numbers are two and three, because any pair of consecutive numbers has one odd and one even number, and two is the only even prime number, because all other even numbers can be divided by two, and the only pairs of consecutive numbers are one and two and three, but one is not prime because it only has one factor, thus making the only consecutive pair of primes two and three. But the problem asks for the product of the two numbers, not the numbers themselves, so just multiply two and three together to get a final result of six.
The only two consecutive whole numbers that are prime numbers are 2 and 3. Otherwise, every second consecutive whole number in sequence is even, and being multiples of 2, they cannot be prime.
Because two is the only even prime number.
2 and 3 are the only consecutive integers that are prime numbers.
The only one pair of consecutive prime numbers possible are 2 and 3. After these very two numbers, every even number is a multiple of two. Furthermore, after 10, every number ending if five is a multiple of five. So, then no two prime numbers can be consecutive anymore. The span between prime numbers then only get wider and wider as the numbers continue to count upwards.
In fact, they can. 2 and 3 are consecutive prime numbers.For larger numbers, one of two consecutive numbers will always be even, and therefore, not a prime.In fact, they can. 2 and 3 are consecutive prime numbers.For larger numbers, one of two consecutive numbers will always be even, and therefore, not a prime.In fact, they can. 2 and 3 are consecutive prime numbers.For larger numbers, one of two consecutive numbers will always be even, and therefore, not a prime.In fact, they can. 2 and 3 are consecutive prime numbers.For larger numbers, one of two consecutive numbers will always be even, and therefore, not a prime.
No other prime numbers are consecutive because there aren't any other even prime numbers.
Prime number next to any prime number is called consecutive prime number. Eg:- 2,3,5,7 are prime numbers
The number 2 is the only even prime number - all other even numbers are divisible by 2.
