No. A Prime number is one that can't be divided by another (11, 13, 17 etc) so the product you get by multiplying by 2 prime numbers, by definition it won't be a prime. However, if 2,3 and 5 are defined as cardinal primes then 7,11,13,17,19,23,29 and 31 as ordinate primes with 7 as the first "mathematical" prime number then if you multiply any combination of prime numbers the composite will coincide with one of the 8 basic positions the ordinate primes establish. IE 7 X 7 = 49; 49 will hold the same position as 19 in the ordinate set. Hint 2 X 3 X 5 =30; 19 + 30 = 49. Also, consider the "number" 0 as in 0,1,2,3 can not exist in prime numbers except as a place holder IE 10 (base 10) 1 ten 0 units. And, prime numbers are universally set. That is 7 (base 10) is as prime as 1-0 (base 7)

When you multiply two prime numbers why will the answer not be a prime number?
When you multiply two prime numbers together they become factors of the number that they equal. Since the number will have factors other than 1 and itself, the number cannot be prime.
What are two prime numbers that you can multiply to get 167?
There are no such two prime numbers, as 167 is a prime number itself.
If you multiply two prime numbers will the answer be a prime number?
No, the answer is not going to be a prime number. For example, 2*3=6 which is not a prime number.
What numbers can you multiply to get 277?
1 and 277 (277 is a prime number).
Will the product of any prime numbers greater than one but less than twenty ever be prime?
No. If you multiply two prime numbers, any prime numbers, the result will - by definition - not be a prime number. For example, if you multiply 2 x 3, the result will obviously be divisible by 2 and by 3, and therefore, not be a prime number. By the way, one is not usually considered a prime number.

Is sixteen a prime number and how?
