11 is the smallest 2-digit prime number and 97 is the greatest 2 digit prime number, so their difference is 86
Greatest 2 digit prime number is 97. Lease 2 digit prime number is 11.
Greatest 2 digit Prime number is 97. Lease 2 digit prime number is 11.
the prime numbers less than 10 are 2,3,5,and 7?
59 - 2 = 57
97-2=95 The answer is 95
The maximum difference is 8, between 89 and 97.
Not necessarily. 71 is a prime number, 7 is a prime number, and 71-7= 64, which is NOT a prime number. In most cases, the difference of two prime numbers will not be a prime number. All prime numbers greater than 2 will be odd numbers. The difference between two odd numbers will be an even number. Unless that even number is 2, it is not a prime number. Here are some additional examples: 19, 13: difference 6, not prime 23, 7: difference 16, not prime 53, 31: difference 22, not prime 61, 59: difference 2, prime 113, 109: difference 4, not prime 293, 283: difference 10, not prime 331, 101: difference 230, not prime
The greatest prime number less than 20 is 19. For there to be a difference, we'll have to have another value.
A prime number
The greatest common factor of 2 and 3 is 1. This is because 2 and 3 are prime numbers, that is, they only have themselves and one as factors. NOTE: Any time that one of the numbers is a prime number and the other is not a multiple of that prime number, the greatest common factor is 1. Another way to approach this, especially with larger numbers (but this makes a good example) is to look at the difference between 2 and 3, which is 1. The greatest common factor of two numbers cannot be larger than the difference between the two numbers and must be a factor of the difference. If the difference is 1, the greatest common factor is 1.
