The only time it's not odd is in the case of number '2'. All even numbers from that point on can be divided by 2.

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".

Therefore, it is not prime.
