Not all prime numbers are odd. There is one prime number that is even: 2. A prime number is a number with two and only two factors: 1 (also known as unity) and itself. A composite number is a number with more than two factors. All even numbers are divisible by 2. Thus, all even numbers have 2 as a factor, which means that all even numbers greater than 2 have more than two factors, so they cannot be prime numbers.

Are most prime numbers odd?

Almost all prime numbers are odd. The number 2 is an exception, it is the only even prime number. Prime numbers are numbers which are evenly divisible only by themselves, and the number 1. Which is to say, they have no factors. So when factoring a number, the smallest factors are prime numbers. Any numbers that are not prime have factors. Prime number: A whole number only divisible by itself and 1. Odd number: A whole number that does not have a factor that is 2.
