Is a prime number always an odd number?
Except for 2 all other prime numbers are odd. Otherwise, they would be divisible by 2 (and thus not a prime number). This does NOT mean that all odd numbers are prime, but that all prime numbers (aside from 2) are odd.
Is it true that the sum of two prime numbers is always an even number?
Not quite.When two prime numbers of 3 and higher are added together, the result is always even, because all such prime numbers are odd numbers, and when two odd numbers are added together, the result is always an even number.However 2 is a prime number, and 2 is also an even number. Adding 2 (an even number) to a different prime number (an odd number) will always yield an odd number.Only if you don't include "2".
Will a prime number always have an odd numbers of factors?
All prime numbers have only 2 factors which are themselves and one. Al prime numbers are odd numbers except for 2 which is the only even prime number.
Does two prime numbers always add up to an even number?
No, they do not. If one of the prime numbers is 2, you will have an odd number.
Which numbers illustrate that not all prime numbers are odd?
2 is the only prime number that is not an odd number.
When you add two prime numbers why do you get an even number?
You don't always. 2 + 5 = 7, for example. But all prime numbers other than 2 are odd and two odd numbers always equal an even number when added together.
Are more number prime or odd?
There are more odd numbers than prime numbers.
Why are square numbers one less than a prime number always even?
Prime numbers, except 2, are always odd (they would not be prime if they were even cos they would be divisible by 2.) 1 less than any odd number must be an even number.
If you add or subtract using only prime numbers is the answer always a prime number?
No, as all prime numbers are odd, excluding 2, and when you add two odd numbers you get an even number. This even number can't be a prime number as it will be divisible by 2. 101 and 31 are both prime, but 101+31 is 132.
Why prime numbers arnt always odd?
The only prime number which isn't odd is the number 2. As the only things it is divisible by is 2 and 1. Therefore is prime. All other even numbers can be divided by 2, so are not prime.
Can a even number be a prime number even though all the prime numbers are odd?
Two is even and it's a prime number. All other even numbers can never be prime though because they will always be divisible by 2. So in fact, not all prime numbers are odd, but 2 is the only even prime number.
When you add two prime numbers together why do you get an even number?
You don't always. 2 + 5 = 7, for example. But all prime numbers other than 2 are odd and two odd numbers always equal an even number when added together.
