3 and 2 are the only prime numbers with a difference of 1.
As the number 2 is the only even prime number then a difference of 1 occurs only between 2 and 3. All other prime numbers are odd and therefore the minimum difference between successive prime numbers is 2.
Only 1 pair of prime numbers, 2 and 5, have a difference of 3. All prime numbers greater than 2 are odd so will have an even difference.
prime numbers are numbers that can only be divided by one and itself. Composite numbers can be divided by more than one and itself.
No. For two integers to have a difference of 3, one must be odd and one must be even. The only even prime number is 2. That means the only pairs of prime numbers that have a difference of 3 must be 2 and another number. The only numbers that could have a difference of 3 are -1 and 5. Since -1 is not a prime number, that is not a pair that meets this description. Since 5 is a prime number, the pair of 2 and 5 is the only possible pair of prime numbers that can have a difference of 3.
The only prime factor of 8 is 2. You need at least two numbers to have a difference.
The difference between prime and composite numbers is simple. Prime numbers have only two factors, 1 and itself. Composite numbers are divisible by more than two numbers
5; (3 + 2 and 7 - 2)
Yes, 210 and 211 are relatively prime. Any numbers whose difference is 1 will only have 1 as a common factor, so they will be relatively prime.
There can only be one largest two-digit prime number.
5. 2 + 3 = 5 7 - 2 = 5
2 and 3 is the only pair.
